Romanian international Ciprian Marica is reportedly wanted by Arsenal"

With the next transfer window just months away, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and West Ham boss Sam Allardyce are both looking to add new additions to their forward positions and have identified Romanian International Ciprian Marica as their next key target.

Because he's a free agent the 27-year-old is still on the market and that's made him the target for a number of clubs who probably wouldn't have given him a second chance a month ago.

Marica has been a free agent ever since leaving German club Schalke at the end of the season and he's confirmed that he was closing in on his next mov3.

"I am in negotiations with three teams" he said.

"I hope I will be able to tell you the name of my next team by the end of next week."

Marica has shown great international scoring success as he holds the scoring record where he notched up 22 goals in 64 appearances, but has struggled to hit the back of the net during the past two seasons.

It's rumored that if Arsenal are unable to land an out-right-contract with Marica they'll likely get on their pursuit of Napoli's Juan Camilo Zuniga in January, especially now that Barcelona have entered the race to acquire the midfielder.
