The 22-year-old Isco is enjoying a fine spell at the Bernabeu since joining from Malaga last summer but is still being targeted by other clubs in January. He is not guaranteed a starting place at Madrid, although his abilities suggest otherwise.

His talent hasn’t gone unnoticed with many English clubs eyeing a move for the midfielder, with Arsenal being one of them. The north London side are preparing a massive £40 million bid for the Spaniard in January, according to Metro.

Liverpool and Manchester City are also linked with a move for Isco and the Gunners will face a real battle to secure his services. It is unsure whether Real Madrid will entertain any offers for Isco but could be tempted to sell if they receive offers upwards of £40 million.

Do you think Arsenal will be able to convince Isco to move to the Emirates Stadium in January?
