Gunners targeting Marcos Llorente

Arsenal are thought to be considering a move for Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente.

Spanish media Don Balon are claiming that the Gunners are keeping a close eye on the 21-year old, who is currently out on loan at Alavas but tipped for stardom in the future.

It’s claimed Arsenal could be able to tempt him to the Emirates with the offer a huge contract.

However, Real want him to battle for a place in their own team from next season, seeing him as competition for Casemiro, who is currently out of action after fracturing his left leg.

And Casemiro’s injury woes means that reports were suggesting Llorente could be returning to the Bernabeu as cover for the Brazilian.

However, the gifted youngster quashed suggestions that he would cut short his loan stint.

He told Spanish newspaper Marca: “My aim is to return in a year’s time.

“Right now my focus in on Alaves. There is no clause that allows me to return in the winter transfer market and that has been said by [Alaves sporting director] Sergio Fernandez.”
