Arsenal target Isco to be 'the new Cesc Fabregas'
Isco has shot to the top of Arsenal's list of transfer targets and boss Arsène Wenger is preparing to lodge a bid for the midfielder.
The Malaga man is valued at £8million and is likely to be available as the Spanish side continue to sell players to ease their financial crisis.
Santi Cazorla has already left Malaga to join the Gunners this summer and now it seems the 20-year-old, who has been dubbed the 'new Cesc Fabregas', could follow suit.
Wenger is known to be an admirer of the young midfielder, Caught Offside reports, and wants to add him to a squad that also boasts new signings Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud.
Malaga spent heavily last summer under their Qatari owners and their investment was rewarded with a Champions League place, but the expenditure seems to have caught up with them and they must now offload star players.
Isco made 32 appearances for the club last season and played a key role in Manuel Pellegrini's side finishing fourth in La Liga.
That has alerted Wenger, who is still keen to add to his squad as he faces the prospect of losing both Robin van Persie and Alex Song before the transfer window slams shut.

that seems like a bargain price, all things considered, but until we start shipping people out, do we have room in the 25 man squad for him?
