Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing the winger.
According to Spanish media outlet Don Balon, Arsenal lining up a £63 million blockbuster move for Real Madrid-owned ace James Rodriguez.
The 27-year-old is nearing the end of a two-year loan deal with Bayern Munich, so his future is very much up in the air.
The Colombia international is one of the most technically gifted players on the continent, and he has chalked up fairly prolific numbers throughout his career thus far.
In 357 career appearances to date, he has registered 99 goals and 119 assists.
Spanish publication Don Balon claims that Arsenal are keen to bring him to the Emirates.
They suggest that he could cost around £63 million, and the Gunners will face competition from the likes of Liverpool, Juventus and Napoli for his signature.
Good signing for Arsenal?
The simple answer is absolutely yes.
Rodriguez would bring much needed quality to the wide areas at Arsenal, and his final ball would surely help the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette reach even higher levels.
Whether the Gunners can actually afford £63 million on an attacking player, however, is debatable.
Unai Emery should surely be prioritising the signings of at least two top quality defenders this month, to help his side finish inside the top four come the end of the season.
At the same time, though, it’s hard to say that Rodriguez would not drastically improve Arsenal as a team.
