Reported Arsenal target Dominik Szoboszlai is now wanted by Real Madrid this summer, with AS reporting that a £23m deal could be in the pipeline.

It is claimed that Madrid see the 20-year-old as a long-term replacement for Luka Modric, while Los Blancos could also sell Isco to make way for the Hungarian starlet.

Szoboszlai once again stole the headlines last night with a stunning winner for Hungary to send them to the Euros next year. It was another fine goal in a long line of stunning strikes from the RB Salzburg ace.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Szoboszlai in recent weeks as Mikel Arteta seeks a creative midfield presence to replace that of the outcasted Mesut Ozil. But with Madrid now interested, Arsenal could find themselves in an uphill battle to land the Hungarian.

Szoboszlai won the Austrian Bundesliga’s player of the year last season, underlining his potential as one of the brightest prospects in Europe.

Every so often a young player will come along and steal the show on more than one occasion and Szoboszlai is certainly in that bracket.

In terms of attacking midfield players, he has everything. Goals, assists, pace, and the ability to run with the ball and worry defenders.

If Arsenal could pick a talent from Europe to sign, Szoboszlai would be it. However, Madrid’s interest is concerning given their stature in the game and could prove hard to turn down for the 20-year-old.
