Arsenal eye Martin Odegaard repeat with Real Madrid deal
Arsenal are ready to whisk one of Real Madrid’s most promising players away from them, with Mikel Arteta’s side eyeing a move for youngster Victor Valdepenas.
Xabi Alonso’s departure could prompt Valdepenas to consider his future at the Bernabeu, as he was liked by the previous manager. He has yet to get a chance to play under Alvaro Arbeloa and was not in the Champions League squad for Tuesday’s clash with Monaco.
The move for the 19-year-old signals a change in strategy for the Gunners, who have signed a string of first-team-ready players in recent windows. Now they are looking to strengthen for the future.
Liverpool want Van de Ven
Liverpool have revived their interest in Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven, according to the Daily Mail.
The Reds were already keen on the Netherlands international before he made the move from Wolfsburg to North London, and their admiration remains.
Spurs could consider a sale of their star defender in the summer as he has so far not shown any willingness to open talks over a new contract. He wants to win silverware.
