Arsenal 'want to sign Real Madrid youngster'

Arsenal are reportedly interested in a summer deal for Real Madrid attacker Cesar Gelabert.

The 19-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut for Los Blancos but has featured on 13 occasions for Real Madrid Castilla during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing one goal in the process.

The teenager's current deal at the Bernabeu will expire in June 2021, and according to AS, Arsenal are 'keeping tabs' on the Spaniard as they weigh up an approach.

The report claims that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has previously watched Gelabert in action against Chelsea and Arsenal's youth sides, although the capital outfit could face competition for his signature.

Lyon and Borussia Dortmund have also both been credited with an interest in a player who previously scored twice in eight appearances for Spain's Under-17 team.

Gelabert has largely operated as a winger for Madrid's Castilla side this season but has also been used through the middle as an attacking midfielder and a centre-forward.
