Is there room at Liverpool, Arsenal or Man City for this Real Madrid star?

Real Madrid attacking midfielder Isco could be set for a move to the Premier League in January.

Reports are suggesting Liverpool and Arsenal have renewed their interest in the Spain international, who joined Carlo Ancelotti's side in 2013 for £24m after a hugely impressive two-year spell with Malaga.

However, the 22-year-old has failed to feature regularly for the European champions and following the glamour signings of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos, a move may be needed to continue his development.

Isco made 53 appearances last season, though many of those games saw him begin on the bench, and a lack of first team football lead to his omission from Spain’s World Cup squad.

As well as Liverpool and Arsenal, Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini is thought to be preparing a renewed bid for the player.

Pellegrini forged a close bond with him during their time together at Malaga, and City made an offer for the player last summer, but he decided to move to Real instead.

Once heralded as the most exciting prospect in Spanish football, Isco came through the academy at Valencia, before moving to Malaga in 2011.

The youngster began to establish himself under Pellegrini, and helped the Spanish club qualify for the 2012/13 Champions League, impressing both domestically and in Europe the following season.

That prompted Los Blancos to bring the midfielder to the Spanish capital, but he has since found opportunities limited.
