Arsenal won’t be signing Real Madrid playmaker Isco

Isco is set to remain with Real Madrid

Arsenal have been linked with Real Madrid playmaker Isco for as long as he has struggled to become an indispensable part of Los Blancos' squad.

After all, the Gunners have been known to swoop in and rescue players such as Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez from the fringes of Spain's big two.

And the Spanish midfielder, whose is likely to leave the Bernabeu in the summer with his contract set to expire next year, would definitely suit Arsene Wenger's side.

But according to Sky Sports, a deal is unlikely. Guillem Balague spoke on Revista De La Liga, saying: "My understanding is that Arsenal do not want Isco.

"They didn’t want him before and they don’t want him now."
