Arsenal on alert with Real ready to sell play-maker Isco

Arsenal have been given the green light to swoop for Real Madrid play-maker and are already lining up a summer bid say reports. Madrid were supposedly unwilling to discuss a deal but now appear to be ready to do business.

The report in the Metro who cite the Spanish site Fichajes.net reveals that Real would be willing to sell for £32.9million. Selling Isco would free up the resources for Real to launch their own summer bid for Chelsea winger Eden Hazard who had been praised with glowing terms recently by Zinedine Zidane.

The 23-year-old Isco joined Real Madrid from Malaga in 2013 and has gone on to make 99 appearances in all competitions and scored 16 goals. Isco had limited opportunities due to the preferred 4-3-3 formation of Ancelotti which the manager himself dismissed as “a temporary problem”.

The player has earned many plaudits and has been compared to Zinedine Zidane himself. Isco has earned 8 caps for his native Spain and scored 1 goal since his debut in 2013.
