Falcao is one of the hottest young forwards in South America at
the moment, having scored 38 goals in 58 games during his three
years so far at El Monumental.
The Colombian international has been targeted by some of Europe’s
giants, including Real Madrid and Manchester United, the latter of
whom are desperately seeking a prolific goal-scorer to lead their
line.
But the Gunners have reportedly leaped the head of the queue and
are willing to fork out ₤8million for Falcao, although los
Millonarios are demanding ₤12million.
However, given Emmanuel Adebayor is edging ever closer to a
mega-money Emirates exit, Wenger and co may just dish out the extra
cash to land the 22-year-old hitman.
