According to Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Arsenal are weighing up a new move for Real Madrid midfielder, Isco, who is looking to leave the club.

Isco, 28, is said to have fallen out with Zinedine Zidane in Madrid and is now seeking a move away, with the Premier League said to appeal to the midfielder.

The Spaniard is said to be open to a move to the Premier League, with Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti apparently already registering his interest in the former Malaga playmaker.

However, Defensa now claim it is Arsenal who weighing up a move, as Mikel Arteta looks to address creativity issues in his squad.

The Gunners have scored just nine times this season. Isco, meanwhile, could help address that, given his 51 goals and 54 assists in just over 300 games with Los Blancos. (Stats per Transfermarkt)

Arsenal boss Arteta admitted yesterday that he might need a few windows to get things how he wants them at The Emirates. Isco, then, could well be an option in January given his circumstance and availablity.

Top midfielders are at a premium these days, especially ones who can play comfortably as a number ten. But Isco is right up there and despite his struggles, remains a class act.

He has four Champions League titles to his name and 38 caps for Spain. That says all you need to know about just how good he is.

If Arsenal can pull off a move for Isco, they’d be getting a fine player indeed to fill the void currently left by Mesut Ozil’s continued absence.
