AC Milan striker Bacca on Arsenal radar as backup plan for Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal are showing considerable interest in AC Milan's Carlos Bacca according to reports.

Italian publication ITA Sports Press is of the belief that the Gunners are pondering a potential summer swoop for the Colombian striker if Alexis Sanchez happens to leave.

The Chilean ace, according to Don Balon, is a firm target for Atletico Madrid and could be lured away from the Emirates if Arsenal fail to win the Premier League title.

If, by chance, he does exit the North London club then the Gunners will go after Bacca who has scored 16 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions for the Rossoneri since joining the club from Sevilla in the summer.
