Stephan El Shaarawy in Arsenal's transfer shorlist

Arsenal are readying a bid for AC Milan striker Stephan El Shaarawy in the winter transfer window, according to Goal.com.

The Gunners boss Arsene looks set to bolster his striking options, having seen Olivier Giroud handle all the burden of being the centre forward this season.


With the North London outfit unlikely to move for Liverpool's Luis Suarez, Wenger is keen on finding better options in the transfer market. El Shaarawy is considered as the perfect option to complement Giroud as he has the trickery and pace to breach through defences at ease.


AC Milan could sell off their Italian striker during the upcoming transfer window, should they fail to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League.
