Arsenal are currently in turmoil after their only senior striker, Olivier Giroud, picked up a serious injury, but Falcao could provide them with a solution.
The Colombian international has been made available for loan by his club Monaco – and the Daily Telegraph reports that he wants to join Arsenal.
It’s claimed that the striker is keen on moving to the Emirates Stadium for the season, with a proposed switch to Real Madrid stalling, and all that remains is for Arsenal to agree to paying the loan fee.
Monaco want £20million to rent Falcao out for campaign and while it is a high price, the fee does cover all of his wages and bonuses.
Arsenal are considering their options with an announcement on Giroud’s injury expected shortly.
