Gunners target could replace Alonso
Real Madrid could also be in the running for another Arsenal target as they pursue the signing of Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho, according to Fichajes.net.
The Spanish giants are on the lookout for new signings in the middle of the park after agreeing to sell Xabi Alonso to Bayern Munich in the final days of the transfer window.
Carvalho has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United for much of this summer and is valued at around £24m.
