Arsenal are ready to make a summer move for Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa.
The former Liverpool defender is set to leave the Spanish club after failing to break into Carlo Ancelotti’s side and hold down a regular starting place.
Arbeloa’s sale is expected to spark a transfer race that is likely to include former club Liverpool, Manchester United and others.
However, Arsenal are known to be interested and has identified the former Anfield defender as a good signing.
The former Spain international is likely to be made available for a fee of £3.5m.
