Mikel Arteta has been told that Marco Asensio would be a 'perfect' signing for Arsenal in the summer. The Real Madrid star has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium on a number of occasions throughout his career but a switch has never materialised.
Asensio, who sees his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expire in June, has featured 31 times for Carlo Ancelotti's side this season, directly contributing towards 11 goals. The Spain international has impressed in spells for the Spanish giants, scoring three in his previous five La Liga appearances.
With Manchester City only a couple of points behind the Gunners in the Premier League title race, Gabby Agbonlahor has urged Arsenal to bolster their squad depth in the summer. Speaking to Football Insider, the former Aston Villa striker suggested that Asensio is the ideal candidate who suits the characteristics of Arteta's tactics.
