Arsenal rival West Ham for Carlos Bacca

Arsenal have joined West Ham United in the chase to sign AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca. The Hammers are currently in advanced negotiations for the Colombian.

The Gunners have failed in their attempts to sign Jamie Vardy and Alexandre Lacazette this summer, and it now looks like they have shifted their focus to Bacca.

According to Gazzetta World, the North London outfit are set to hijack the Hammers' pursuit for the 29-year-old despite the club having agreed on a £25m sum with the Rossoneri.

Bacca is thought to favour a move to a Champions League club, and this puts the Gunners in the front seat to land his services.

The Colombian international was ever-present for the Rossoneri last season, netting 18 goals in the process.
