Gunners ‘in talks’ with AC Milan for Brazilian striker

|

Arsenal are reportedly ‘in talks’ with AC Milan over a potential move for Alexandre Pato.

It is well documented that Arsene Wenger is keen to add a forward player to his squad this January and now reports from Brazil suggest that the Gunners are in preliminary talks with Milan for the 22-year-old Brazilian international.

It is believed that Arsenal are willing to offer around £30 million for Pato, an unprecedented amount from Wenger, whose record signing is still believed to be Andrey Arshavin at around £15 million.

Pato has scored one goal in five Serie A games so far this season.

    Would be great to sign Pato. The kid can score. We still need a midfield that creates more chances though. Arteta doesn’t make enough defense splitting through balls for me.

    Who is reporting this fable? Wenger has repeatedly stated that he’s not looking to sign a striker. In fact, he’s said that the only way he’ll sign anyone, will be due to injuries! Meaning a loss of a few very important players! He also said, he’d maybe take a look if a super player was offered to him. I think a super player would be Hazard or Goetz!!!!!!!!!

    Why u making up lies? were did the reports come from??? cmonson! U could have written tht crap wit any given player

    IF Wenger signs anyone in Jan then a forward like Podolski would be a far better option. He’s a proven goal scorer in the Bundesliga which of all the European leagues is most similar to the Premiership with it’s pace and style of play, he’d be a real hit.

    i hope this happens and i think it’s possible precisely because of wenger’s attitude towards transfers. it’s like when dennis signed from inter, henry from juve… wenger will spend one large amount of money on one player if he thinks that the player is quality. and pato fits that bill, not only is he a big name signing that plays european football and is now slightly out of favor at his team, he is also young. and wenger wont want to attract any attention to this deal for obvious reasons. i hope it happens lol

  • gunnerfan says:

    i am also a milan fan and don’t think this would be a good deal for the gunners, for the sole reason that he is very injury prone and can’t stay fit for a moth. but when he is fit he is one of the bets in the world and is still young but would cost a fortune. In my opinion damiao would be a better cost effective player would more development and not injury prone.

  • Shegs says:

    Wenger is not a fan of January transfer window..He does his business in the summer and even if he goes for any player,that would be PODOLSKI or REUS cos they can play in Champions league unlike Götze and Pato who have already played in Champions league this season.
