Report: Arsenal to make January swoop for Real Madrid's Isco

Arsenal are reportedly planning to launch a bid for Real Madrid attacking midfielder Isco in the January transfer window.

The North London outfit have been linked with the 23-year-old for some time, but it is believed that manager Arsene Wenger will make his move when the window reopens in three months.

According to Fichajes, the Gunners have placed Isco, who is valued at around £33m, at the top of their wishlist as they want the Spaniard to add to the team's options in midfield.

Isco, who signed for Madrid from Malaga in 2013, has struggled to cement a regular starting spot under manager Rafael Benitez this season.
