The Sun reports
that both the Gunners and Spurs are keen on De la Red and will have to
fork out around ₤15million to secure his services.
The former
Castilla star was hugely impressive for Getafe last season, so much so
that he earned not only a place in Spain’s triumphant EURO 2008 squad
but also a return to Real Madrid, who exercised their buy-back option
this summer.
It is uncertain whether the 23-year-old will remain at the Bernabeu past pre-season, however, as los Merengues are reportedly intent on using the deep-lying playmaker as a makeweight for certain transfer targets.
Arsenal
are in desperate need of such a player, as the departures of Mathieu
Flamini and Lassana Diarra have left only the declining Gilberto Silva
to anchor Cesc Fabregas in midfield.
tink low chance wenger will wan him now... more likely will sign a cheap CM...
