Arsenal will go after AC Milan winger Stephan El Shaarawy this summer.

The Gunners have previously been linked with the 22-year old but have never been successful in their pursuit of the Italy international.

However, Metro reports that Arsene Wenger is ready to finally capture the talented El Shaarawy for around £18million when the next transfer window opens.

El Shaarawy, who has made just 12 Serie A starts under Filippo Inzaghi, is set to be offloaded by the Rossoneri with Arsenal ready to swoop.
