Football News: Arsenal considering move for free agent Isco this January?

According to reports, Arsenal is thinking about making a move for Isco, who is a free agent. With Mikel Arteta having a five-point lead over the World Cup break, the Gunners are currently getting ready to continue their quest to capture the Premier League championship.

However, the top-flight leaders will be active throughout the January window, in part because forward Gabriel Jesus hurt his knee. While finding a replacement frontman is currently of particular importance, it has long been speculated that Arteta will also look for a new face in the midfield.

Currently, the alternatives in that region of the field are Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny, and Albert Sambi Lokonga, however the latter player might be permitted to leave the Emirates Stadium at the halfway point of the season.

If that turns out to be the case, Arteta might insist on signing a similar replacement, although it seems that a more attack-oriented player is being taken into consideration.

Fichajes claims that Arteta might insist on switching for Isco now that there won't be a transfer fee. In the summer, the 30-year-old left Real Madrid to join Sevilla, where it was anticipated that he would spend the remainder of his career.

Isco's contract was instead terminated despite having 18 months remaining to run because of a new head coach's hiring and internal strife.

Isco still played for the Spanish team in 15 starts and three substitute appearances, scoring one goal and dishing out three assists in La Liga and the Champions League.

The payer is anticipated to have no shortage of offers at the beginning of the year from both within and outside of his native country, where he has spent his whole career.

It was claimed earlier this month that Wolverhampton Wanderers were considering signing Isco, although it is unclear if that will still be the case with the anticipated addition of Atletico Madrid attacker Matheus Cunha.

The article also states that Juventus are keeping an eye on the issue as the Italian powerhouses consider a number of incomings and outgoings.
