Just when Arsenal fans thought they had heard the last of the club battling it out with Barcelona over the future of a player, it has emerged that the Premier League club are to fight the Spanish giants for the signature of Paco Alcacer.
Arsene Wenger's side fought a long battle to keep Pep Guardiola's Barca from signing Cesc Fabregas, but finally relented this summer.
However, it is now being reported that the French manager has identified Valencia striker Alcacer as a transfer target, despite interest from the European champions and Liverpool.
The 18-year-old is believed to have been watched by Anfield officials after making his La Liga debut last season, but Emirates boss Wenger is hoping to activate a €10 million (£8.7 million) release clause in the youngster's contract.
Real Madrid is also reportedly after the highly sought-after starlet, who notched 15 goals in 13 games for Valencia's under-17s side last term.
