Real Madrid star James Rodriguez is on Arsenal’s radar as the Gunners are prepared to bring the Colombian star to the Emirate Stadium at the end of the season.

Arsenal manager Mikel ArtetaArteta is keen on replacing Granit Xhaka and he identified Real Madrid want-away star as an ideal star to fill the boot of the Switzerland centre midfielder.

James has struggled to find the balance since he made his return to Santiago Bernabeu from his two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich.

The report in The Sun says James has been viewed as the player who will help to bring some extra quality in the attack.

In England, discussions are emerging about extending the transfer market from June 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021, to help clubs deal with the recession that is almost inevitable once the COVID-19 virus has been controlled.

James has played in after Portugal, France, Spain and Germany, if he secures a move to Arsenal then England would be the fifth European League he has played in.

Arteta is a huge fan of the former AS Monaco attacker and the Real Madrid could bring something new to the table just like predecessor Dani Ceballos.
