Arsenal keeping tabs on Real Madrid attacker

Arsenal are closely monitoring the situation of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, according to Spanish outlet Sport.

The Gunners have yet to make a summer signing, but the club are expected to be active over the coming weeks.

A marquee striker is the main priority for Arsenal, but they are also in the market for a versatile wide player.

Manager Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of Rodrygo and the Gunners are closely monitoring his status at Madrid.

Rodrygo has been an undisputed starter for Madrid in recent years. He has largely played from the right wing.

However, the arrival of Argentine wonderkid Franco Mastantuono could limit his playing time next season.

Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has his sights on starting the wonderkid and plans to play him from the right wing.

This could urge Rodrygo to consider a new challenge. Arsenal could capitalise on such kind of a situation.

Rodrygo feels he is most comfortable and creative from the left wing. He could be guaranteed starts in the role at Arsenal.
