Report: Arsene Wenger appeals to Zinedine Zidane for Alvaro Morata

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has reportedly asked Zinedine Zidane to help facilitate Alvaro Morata's switch to the Emirates Stadium.

The Real Madrid starlet is believed to be the subject of interest from Wenger, but negotiations are thought to break down regularly over disagreements regarding certain aspects of the prospective deal.

It is understood that the newly-crowned Champions League winners want a buy-back clause included in his contract or a £25m straight deal for the 21-year-old striker.

However, the Gunners are said to be reluctant to agree to either stipulation and, according to The Mirror, Wenger has sought help from the Real coach to help broker a deal between the parties.

Morata has one year remaining on his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.
