Arsenal reach Isco transfer decision

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly decided against making a move for Real Madrid star Isco due to the emergence of Emile Smith Rowe.

The Gunners have been linked with a move for the 28-year-old midfielder for some time, but the Spain international remains at Real Madrid.

Arteta is said to be a big fan of the attacker and what he could potentially bring to North London if he were allowed to leave the Spanish capital.

However, AS report that Arteta has dropped plans to sign Isco after Smith Rowe sent a clear message.

The 20-year-old has had to be patient and bide his time to force his way into contention, but following Arsenal's disastrous start to the season Arteta has placed his faith in the youngster.

Smith Rowe has started three consecutive games for the Gunners, all three of which have been victories against Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom.
