Arsenal 'targeting January loan move for Real Madrid midfielder Isco but face competition from Sevilla' as Mikel Arteta eyes up playmaker after freezing out Mesut Ozil

Arsenal are targeting a loan move for Real Madrid midfielder Isco once the January transfer window opens later this week, according to reports.

The Gunners have reportedly made the Spaniard their No 1 transfer target and will offer the 28-year-old a route out of his Bernabeu nightmare, where he has fallen out of favour under Zinedine Zidane.

According to PA, the north London club want to bring in Isco on a six-month loan deal once the window opens in the new year but face a number of issues to make the move happen.
