Isco: 'I'm happy at Real Madrid'

Real Madrid playmaker Isco has revealed that he is happy at the Spanish giants despite reported interest from Premier League sides Liverpool and Arsenal.

The 22-year-old has struggled for playing time this season after having to compete with new signing James Rodriguez, with the midfielder only joining from Malaga for £23.4m last summer.

"We are compatible. He is a quality player and I have not had any problems with him. James is helping us a lot," Isco said of Rodriguez, according to The Express.

"Like all players, I want to play but I am ready to be in the team whenever the coach wants. I'm playing very little and hope to play more. Last year was amazing, winning titles, and I am very happy at Real Madrid."

Los Blancos currently sit in fifth position in La Liga after seemingly recovering from a wobbly start to the new campaign.
