Should Arsenal make a move for Isco and beat rivals Tottenham to the punch?
Spanish sensation Isco showed his quality this week as he wowed Wembley with a superb equalising goal for Spain against England.
His well taken finish made a mockery of the fact Real Madrid have used him so infrequently this season, with not a single minute played in the Champions League.

His performance had watching Tottenham fans savouring, with the club linked to him in the past transfer window, and the Hertfordshire Mercury reported comments from supporters joking that Isco is getting used to playing at Wembley for when he is a Tottenham player next season.
At this point it is wishful thinking on their part, but a deal could be done, with Spanish newspaper AS previously reporting that Mauricio Pochettino is a huge fan of the player.

Yet Tottenham are not the only North London club who are aware of Isco.
Spanish outlet Diario Madridista, cited by the Daily Star, reported just last month that Arsenal are keen on the Real Madrid ace.
Having successfully signed Mesut Ozil from Real in 2013, Arsenal would be wise to look again towards the Spanish giants to sign their out of favour star.
Isco could take the place of Santi Cazorla in the team, who has missed recent months through injury, and Arsenal have got used to being without him.

At 31, his time at the Gunners could be limited, and Isco could step into his shoes, just as he looking like doing so for Spain.
Arsenal signing the former Malaga ace would not be well received by Tottenham, who having seemingly wasted £30 million on Moussa Sissoko, desperately need their next big transfer to possess genuine star quality.
