Real Madrid's Raul Asensio options for Arsenal amid transfer talks

Summary

Arsenal is reportedly exploring the acquisition of Real Madrid defender Raul Asensio this summer. The club seeks to replace Ben White, who suffered a knee ligament injury and may be moving abroad. Asensio is not part of Jose Mourinho's plans for the upcoming season and could be available for around €25 million. While Arsenal's interest is noted, there are no agreements in place, and further negotiations will be necessary for a potential transfer. Asensio made 23 league appearances last season, contributing defensively and earning seven clean sheets.
