Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Sunday, January 3.

Sunday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:

Arsenal lining up January move for Carlos Soler?

Arsenal could reportedly attempt to bring Valencia attacker Carlos Soler to the Emirates Stadium during the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for Los Che during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring six times and registering five assists in 13 appearances in all competitions.

Soler has a contract at Mestalla until June 2023, but the club's financial problems mean that he is likely to be made available for purchase if a suitable offer arrives.

According to El Desmarque, Arsenal are 'keeping an eye' on the Spaniard and could be ready to test Valencia's resolve with an offer before the end of the winter transfer window.

Los Che are currently down in 18th position in La Liga, but Soler has been in strong form for Javi Gracia's side, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 12 appearances.

The attacker has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United.

Real Madrid 'close to agreeing four-year David Alaba deal'

Real Madrid have reportedly emerged as the clear favourites to sign Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.

Despite remaining as a key player at the Allianz Arena, the Austria international has less than six months remaining on his contract.

The versatile 28-year-old is now in a position where he can hold discussions with any foreign clubs who are interested in his signature.

However, Marca claims that Real are now regarded as the frontrunners after offering Alaba a contract until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane is said to have given his blessing to a deal being negotiated with the player.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona have also been linked with the long-serving Bayern man.
