Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are interested in signing Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio in the summer transfer window, according to Sport.
Arsenal linked with Real Madrid star Marco Asensio
The Spanish publication has claimed that Arsenal have made contact with the encourage of Asensio and have made it clear that they are ready to make a bid for him at the end of the season.
Barcelona and AC Milan are also reportedly keen on signing the 27-year-old, who can operate as a winger, attacking midfielder or forward, according to WhoScored.
Sport have claimed that talks between the Spain international and Madrid over a new contract are not going well.
The £118,000-a-week (SalarySport) star is out of contract at last season’s La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Arsenal at the end of the current campaign.
Exciting
In our view, Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio would be a good signing for Arsenal in the summer transfer window on a free.
The Spaniard is a very good and skilful player who can play in a number of positions in attack.
The Madrid forward is a fluid and mobile player who would make Arsenal better and more potent in attack.
And Asensio is hugely experienced.
The 27-year-old has been on the books of Madrid since 2014 and has won the La Liga title thrice and the UEFA Champions League on three occasions with Los Blancos so far in his career.
