Arsenal goes for Real Madrid Morata

Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign Real
Madrid youngster Alvaro Morata though the
terms of the transfer are still be ironed out
according to the Daily Mirror.
The Spanish Under 21 international is
considered one of the hottest prospects in
Europe but has struggled to make an impact
at the Bernabeu, making just one La Liga
start this season, and a move away from
Real Madrid appears on the cards.
Though Morata would've expected to play
second fiddle to Karim Benzema, who
currently spearheads an attack that also
includes Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo,
he is perhaps surprised to see fellow
youngster Jese Rodriguez ahead of him in
the striking queue.
Real Madrid are ready to sell Morata for £8m
but want to add a buy-back clause into his
contract, something Arsene Wenger may well
object to.
Wenger is keen to supplement his attack with
Olivier Giroud shouldering a fair bit of the
striking burden due to a series of average
displays by Lukas Podolski and a long term
injury suffered by Theo Walcott.
Morata has only started four matches in all
competitions this season but has managed
to net five times.
