Arsenal in Premier League 3-horse race to sign former Real Madrid star in January: Reports - Source: Getty
Arsenal are in a three-horse race with Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Newcastle United in a bid to sign former Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio. The 28-year-old currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and has racked up two goals and four assists in 15 games this season.
However, much of his time on the pitch has come from the bench, rather than in the starting lineup. In the Champions League, he has started two games, and in Ligue 1, he has started just eight games so far. Despite joining the club in the summer of 2023 on a free from Madrid, he has yet to ensure his place in the starting XI.
The situation has put some uncertainty on Marco Asensio's future at PSG, while clubs in the Premier League are monitoring his situation. Arsenal have shown interest in the winger in recent times, but they have not pushed to bid for him yet. However, with Bukayo Saka out injured for the foreseeable future, a move for Asensio could be in the works.
