*I know the priority transfer target should be a CF who is better than Giroud or at least would provide solid competition for him (dunno about the credibility of reports about Pato) but this one will be about a... you guessed it, young player with potential. Can't have too many of them, can we?
I've been told there are reports in Italy we've sent scouts to watch the Fiorentina striker Khouma Babacar who plays on loan for Modena FC.
20 years of age, he is getting used to senior football quite well, scoring 8 goals in 12 games and is currently on top of the scoring chart with 23-year old Abel Hernandez and 29-year old Mirko Antenucci.
We might be scouting a lot of them players but in a way a move for him would make perfect sense in that we have not had much luck with young strikers from the academy, with few of our young prospects making the grade.
Discuss please?

He's been linked before hasn't he..? One of several striking 'prospects' playing in Italy...
Would he not kill Sanogo? SCRAP THAT, Sanogo will most likely kill himself, he's that injury prone (by the looks of things).
As it was reported last night, Arsenal DID bid 20 million for Juve's Llorente, to arrange a deal for the Spaniard in January. Juve have turned it down.
What does that say? Well it says to me that Wenger IS serious about signing a striker in January!
Who will that be? No idea. My personal preference, if the club is prepared to spend decent money would be Milan's very own Stephan El Shaarawy. Not out of the realms of possibility, but would cost a fair few quid.

Is our scouting system just based on Football Manager 2011?
Babacar and Sanogo were two of the best strikers in the world
