Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign AC Milan striker Stephan El Shaarawy after the North London club opened negotiations with the Serie A side. Arsenal have been involved in ‘secret’ talks with AC Milan over their interest in the 20 year old Italian international.

El Shaarawy has started just one domestic fixture this term as AC Milan boss has opted to use Robinho, Balotelli and summer signing Matri as his main attacking weapons.

The lack of opportunities handed to El Shaarawy has surprised many given that the youngster finished as the club’s top scorer last term, netting 19 goals in all competitions, and now Arsenal are readying a £25m bid for the striker who is looking for the regular first team football he needs in order to cement a prominent role in the Italian national team set-up at the 2014 World Cup finals next summer.

Arsene Wenger is keen to strengthen his attack and is known to be a big admirer of El Shaarawy, who adheres to the French manager’s traditional youthful transfer policy.

Currently Arsenal rely heavily on Olivier Giroud but and Wenger is looking to bring in another striking weapon to assist in the club’s push for the Premier League title.
