Arsenal have joined the battle for wantaway Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez.
The Colombia international, after his blow-up against Leganes, failed to take the field for Saturday’s draw with Atletico Madrid.
James is sure to leave this summer and his agent has been drumming up interest across Europe.
The midfielder has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, while Don Balon says Arsenal are also in touch with Mendes.
Tonight’s Champions League opponents Bayern Munich, with coach Carlo Ancelottidriving the approach, are another giant exploring the option.
Interestingly, Real coach Zinedine Zidane held crunch talks with James yesterday and could use him tonight. Zidane still rates the midfielder, despite his furious reaction to being substituted last week in victory over Leganes.
