Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is reportedly preparing a £30m move for Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

The Spanish international moved to the Bernabeu from Malaga last summer and was one of the club's star performers in the early part of the season.

However, a change in formation by Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti has led to Isco playing a bit-part role for the capital outfit in recent months.

According to Metro, Isco is considering his options, with Arsenal one of a number of clubs preparing to test the water with a big-money offer.

Isco, 21, has scored nine times for Madrid this season.
