Arsenal risk being outbid by Real Madrid for Real Sociedad winger Antoine Griezmann.
The Daily Star says Real have offered cash plus the promise of Asier Illarramendi to Real Sociedad in a bid to steal Griezmann away from Arsenal's grasp.
The Gunners opened up their summer activity by launching the £18m bid for Griezmann on Monday but could already have been gazumped in their first venture into the market.
Griezmann has been one of the stars of La Liga last season, earning himself a call up to the French World Cup squad at the expense of Manchester City star Samir Nasri.
