Real Madrid star Isco 'requests transfer'

Real Madrid playmaker Isco has allegedly informed the club that he wants to leave.

The Spaniard, who has been linked with several Premier League teams, has told Los Blancos president Florentino Perez that he is seeking a move elsewhere, according to The Express.

Isco has struggled to hold down first-team football at Real since the arrival of Mateo Kovacic from Inter Milan over the summer, and has not scored in 14 appearances this term.

The £35m-rated midfielder is said to be wanted by Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
