Arsenal keen on club-record deal for Real Madrid star: He wants to join this team
ARSENAL are reportedly keen to hijack Chelsea's move for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata this summer.
Manchester United are also tracking the wantaway star, who has become frustrated at his game time.
Zinedine Zidane has left the Spain international on the Bernabeu bench for much of the season.
As a result, Morata is looking to leave with the Premier League's elite chasing his signature.
Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is wanted by Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United
According to The Sun, Arsene Wenger is considering a club-record deal worth £50million to land the 24-year-old.
The Arsenal boss sees Morata as a potential replacement for outgoing Alexis Sanchez, who he almost signed instead back in 2014.
However, Chelsea are leading the chase with ex-Juventus boss Antonio Conte pushing for a reunion at Stamford Bridge.

I feel indebted to Conte
And Morata has an affiliation with the Italian, having said: “I feel indebted to Conte because he is the manager who trusted and most wanted me — even though he left Juventus before I arrived.”
Even though the Spaniard worked with Mourinho at Madrid, Chelsea is considered the ideal choice over United.
But Arsenal and the Red Devils could still swoop as Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo wants Romelu Lukaku ahead of Conte favourite Morata.
