Arsenal have reportedly earmarked Real Madrid playmaker Isco as their top target for the January transfer window.
Having been used sparingly by Zinedine Zidane in the 2020-21 campaign, the Spain international is being tipped to head for the Bernabeu exit door in 2021.
Arsenal's creativity problems in recent months are well-documented, and the Gunners have recently been linked with several playmakers such as Christian Eriksen, Emiliano Buendia and Julian Brandt.
However, PA reports that Mikel Arteta has identified Isco as his number one target for next month's window, and Arsenal will look to strike a six-month loan deal for the Blancos midfielder.
The report adds that Arsenal will have to offload a player first, though, and Isco would rather keep plying his trade in La Liga with Sevilla.
The 28-year-old has started just three Spanish top-flight games this term and will see his contract at the Bernabeu expire in June 2022.
