Premier League club Arsenal have held 'exploratory talks' with Real Madrid and Brazil winger Rodrygo, according to Ben Jacobs.

Arsenal have earmarked Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Diaz as an ideal alternative to top target Rodrygo, according to a report. The Gunners have been tipped to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the future of Rodrygo, whom they have supposedly given serious consideration to a move for.

Arsenal are keen on signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid this summer but they have alternatives in mind if a deal for the exciting Brazil international cannot be achieved
