REVEALED: Super agent Mendes offers James to Arsenal, Chelsea

Super agent Jorge Mendes has offered Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez to Arsenal and Chelsea.

The London Evening Standard says Mendes has told Arsenal and Chelsea that Real are prepared to sell James.

The Colombia international has attracted interest from Paris St Germain but would like to play in the Premier League.

Cost could be an issue for the London clubs with Madrid wanting around £65million for the forward.

Arsenal, for one, are in serious need of additional firepower.

Arsene Wenger has already missed out on longstanding targets Gonzalo Higuain and Alvaro Morata, while Lyon appear to have priced the Gunners out of a move for striker Alexandre Lacazette.
