Arsenal are very much in the market for new players if they become available in January and the Gunners could now be involved in a fight for one of Real Madrid’s top talents.

The Gunners are keen on signing a new left-sided midfield player if they can but Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta are also on the ball if top players in other positions become available.

Trent Alexander-Arnold considering Real Madrid exit

Alexander-Arnold only completed his move to Real Madrid in the summer but so far, he’s found himself in a battle for a spot in the starting XI.

Jose Mourinho has Denzel Dumfries to call upon while in recent weeks, Federico Valverde has been given the nod at right-back in a surprise move by Mourinho. Indeed, the same was repeated last night as Madrid hammered Sevilla.

Now, according to TeamTalk, this selection from Mourinho is causing Alexander-Arnold to have yet more second thoughts about his future in Spain.

They report that a host of English clubs are now on high alert over ‘Trent’s’ availability, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, and old club Liverpool all keeping a close eye on proceedings in Spain.

Madrid, of course, would much rather keep their asset after winning a long protracted battle for him in the summer.

Nevertheless, with Alexander-Arnold recently regaining his England place he will be keen to ensure he keeps on playing regular football. That opens the door for a return to England as things stand, albeit a loan move is more likely than anything right now.
