Real Madrid are open to sending Arsenal January transfer target Luka Jovic out on loan, according to Defensa Central.

The Spanish news outlet has claimed that Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti is willing to send Jovic out on loan in the January transfer window.

Ancelotti cannot give Jovic, linked with a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the January transfer window, enough minutes due to French striker Karim Benzema.

So, according to the report, the former Chelsea and Everton manager is ready to send the 24-year-old striker out on loan, but does not want to sell him.

It was Defensa Central who reported in October that Arsenal want to sign Jovic.

Luka Jovic to Arsenal would make sense

In our view, a loan move for Jovic to Arsenal would make sense for the Gunners.

And, since Madrid are reportedly open to sending out the Serbia international striker on loan next month, the Gunners should make a move.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is not in the Arsenal team at the moment.

Even if the Gabon international is drafted back in, given his disappointing performances since last season, there is no guarantee that he will start banging in the goals.

Yes, Arsenal are scoring a lot of goals, but a 24-year-old Jovic would give Arteta another valuable option upfront.
