Arsenal are reportedly lining up a £75 million bid for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio, according to the Sunday Express.

The 20-year-old wants to be starting more games for Zinedine Zidane’s side ahead of the World Cup and is yet to sign a new contract at the Bernabeu.

Despite scoring goals in both legs of the Spanish Super Cup victory over Barcelona earlier this month, it is likely he will play second fiddle to Cristiano Ronaldo this campaign.

The Spanish international has already turned down a move to PSG and has attracted interest from Inter Milan as well as the Gunners.

With game time mattering most for the star attacker, Wenger may succeed in bringing him to North London.
