With tensions reportedly mounting at Real Madrid, Arsenal are said to be keen on beating Manchester City and Chelsea to a Los Blancos player.
Arsenal are considering a move for Real Madrid's Rodrygo this summer, amid growing interest from various Premier League clubs, according to Metro.

While a new striker is at the top of their list, the report suggests the London club are also contemplating options to enhance their wing positions, with the Brazilian mentioned as a potential recruit.
Chelsea and Manchester City have also shown interest, although the Blues’ pursuit is likely contingent on their Champions League qualification.
Additionally, Liverpool and Manchester United, pending their qualifications, are rumoured to be eyeing the player.

What’s next for Real Madrid?
While the Madrid giants have a mathematical chance of retaining LaLiga, they must win their remaining three games against Mallorca, Sevilla and Real Sociedad and hope for a Barcelona collapse to supplant their rivals, who moved seven points clear after Sunday’s 4-3 win.
