Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hinted that reports linking the club with a sensational summer move for Real Madrid star Rodrygo may be genuine.

Rodrygo, 24, has developed into an integral player for Real since joining from Brazilian side Santos for €45million (£37.9m) in 2019.

The forward, who has also won 33 caps for Brazil, may have a lower profile than fellow attackers Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jnr, yet he still has a hugely impressive record at the Bernabeu.

Rodrygo has 68 goals and 50 assists in 267 appearances for Los Blancos but after a difficult campaign for Real, reports have linked him with a move away this summer.
