Arsenal are throwing everything at winning the race for Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio.

AS says the Gunners want to sign the Spanish international 'at all costs'.

Asensio has been in talks with current club Real Madrid regarding a contract extension, but is aware that a place in the first team at the Bernabeu is far from guaranteed.

The 26-year-old is eager for game time ahead of November's World Cup, and would consider a move to the Premier League – and sources close to Madrid understand that Arsenal are best placed to make a move for the forward.

Meanwhile, at Arsenal a deal for Porto's Fabio Vieira has been all but confirmed, while talks for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus are progressing.
