Arsenal prepare offer for James Rodriguez after missing out on Leicester's Riyad Mahrez


ARSENAL have set their sights on Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez, according to reports.

Rodriguez is not part of Zinedine Zidane’s plans at the Bernabeu and has fallen further down the pecking order following the emergence of Marco Asensio.

The 20-year-old impressed in pre season and Spanish newspaper Marca claimed last week Asensio would be the final nail in the coffin for Rodriguez.

GETTYArsenal have reportedly set their sights on James Rodriguez

The Gunners have a good working relationship with Real following the £42.5million deal for Mesut Ozil in 2013 and Wenger has said this month money is not an issue for the club.

“The money is never a problem if you have to pay what is requested,” Wenger said.



However, Gazzetta say a deal for Rodriguez is not a foregone conclusion due to the north London club’s poor record in the transfer market this summer.

Wenger has already missed out on Leicester pair Jamie Vardy and Mahrez and is struggling to get deals over the line for Alexandre Lacazette and Skkodran Mustafa

Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ .
