Arsenal have a clear run at Radamel Falcao now (Picture: Getty)

Arsenal are clear to sign Monaco striker Radamel Falcao after Real Madrid ditched their interest in the Colombia star.

Falcao has been given permission to leave Monaco on-loan this summer in return for £20million, and reports this week suggested that Arsenal and Madrid were going head-to-head for his signature.

But now the Gunners have a clear run to grab the 28-year-old with the Spanish press saying that Madrid have now ended their interest in trying to sign him.

The news comes after Falcao told Arsenal he is ready to move to the Emirates Stadium and senior officials held talks with Monaco about a switch.




No deal has been done to date, but Arsene Wenger now has a clear run to get his man.
