Arsenal lead chase for Colombian sensation

Arsenal are reportedly considered favourites to seal a deal for one of the best strikers from Ligue 1 this summer.

The Gunners have been busy in the transfer market during the current transfer window, having recruited the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy, David Ospina and Calum Chambers until now.

Manager Arsene Wenger is understood to be keen on extending his spending spree as he aims to sign at least two more players before the transfer deadline on September 1.

A report from The Express suggests that Monaco hitman Radamel Falcao is willing to take a pay-cut to ensure a move goes through to the Emirates during the current transfer window.

However, the North London club could face some competition from Liverpool, who have shown interest in the talented striker in recent weeks.
