Arsene Wenger ROCKED as star target AGREES to £8.5m deal with Chelsea closing in on Falcao
ROMA striker Mattia Destro has agreed to join Monaco this summer, with Chelsea closing in on a move for Radamel Falcao.
Mattia Destro has agreed to join Monaco ahead of the summer window
That is according to Sky Sport Italia, who claim Destro's representatives have left for Monte Carlo to complete the £8.5million transfer.
The 24-year-old Italian was also a target for Arsenal, with boss Arsene Wenger having failed to sign him on loan last January.
He instead opted to join AC Milan on a temporary basis, but the club turned down the option to take him on a permanent deal due to his return of just three goals.
Destro's imminent arrival at Monaco is expected to pave the way for Falcao's exit, with the Colombian striker set to join the Premier League champions on loan.
