Arsenal are keen to take Isco on-loan from Real Madrid.

Arsenal are targeting a loan move for Isco once the January transfer window opens later this week, says PA Sport.

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.

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 hurdles to make the move happen.

To bring Isco to the Emirates, Arsenal will need Real to pay a portion of the Spaniard's wages which could prove to be a stumbling block for the Madrid club.
