Arsenal leading Real Madrid in race for Marc Roca?

Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to sign Espanyol midfielder Marc Roca this summer.

The 23-year-old, who is currently fighting relegation with the Catalan club, is set to leave this year - with AC Milan, Real Madrid and Arsenal all credited with an interest in the Spaniard.

However, according to Milan News, the Gunners are firm favourites to sign Roca - and Mikel Arteta wants to bring him to London.

With Espanyol possible contenders for relegation this season, Roca could leave the club at a lower price than his £40m release clause.

Prior to the breakout of COVID-19, Roca managed two league goals for the White and Blues.
