Arsenal target Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata

Arsenal are interested in making a move for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, according to reports.

Morata, who is making an impact on Real Madrid's B team Castilla in the Spanish third division, is not believed to be a part of Los Blancos boss Jose Mourinho's plans at the Bernabeu moving forward.

The striker is understood to have been on Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's radar for a number of seasons until he joined Madrid from Getafe in 2008, according to The People.

However, the 19-year-old is believed to be eager to make a move to England at the end of this season.

Morata helped Spain to lift the Under-19 European Cup last summer.
