West Ham have fight on their hands as Bacca wants Champions League with AC Milan

West Ham United have a fight on their hands after their target AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca made it clear that he wants to play in the Champions League.

The Hammers have reportedly agreed on a transfer fee with Milan for the Colombia international, but they are yet to agree on personal terms with the 29-year-old.

Bacca also revealed that he has offers from a number of clubs from England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany, but his priority is to play in Champions League with the Rossoneri.

He told Spanish newspaper AS: "(Playing the Champions League) is my dream and I work every day for that.

"I want to play (in the Champions League) with Milan because I came here to do that but unfortunately we did not get that step.

"It is one of the issues that we are talking about with Milan... we're not in Europe and I want to play the Champions League.

"We will make the decision depending on the Milan project for the new season.

"My future is in God's hands. We all know that I have a contract with Milan for four years.

"There are offers and there is interest from clubs from England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany.

"It is not easy making a decision. We have time, we are calm.

"My agent is in communication with the clubs and with Milan."
