Arsenal are set to open talks to sign Real Madrid attacking midfielder Marco Asensio ahead of the summer transfer window.
Asensio is out of contract at the end of the season, which means he can sign for a new club for free in the summer transfer window.
Despite finding it difficult to break into the team on a regular basis at the start of the season, Asensio began to get more minutes as the season progressed. This season, Asensio has managed two goals and three assists in 14 LaLiga games.
Now, according to the Daily Mirror, Arsenal are ready to open talks to sign Asensio before the summer transfer window.

Asensio may not break into the starting XI and become a guaranteed starter for Arsenal, but he would be a smart signing for Mikel Arteta, adding improved quality to come off the bench and cover multiple positions.
Considering it will be a free transfer, it would be a shrewd deal for Arsenal as they look to continue building a deeper, quality squad.
