Real Madrid to speed up Lucas Vazquez's sale to Arsenal

Lucas Vazquez could very well be an Arsenal player next season

Arsenal and Real Madrid are negotiating a deal which will see Lucas Vazquez heading to the Emirates before the end of the summer transfer window. The report claims that Lucas Vazquez prefers to play in the Premier League amid interest from Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.

Real Madrid are ready to do the deal and in fact, wants to speed up the process as the Merengues embark on a clearance sale of sorts after having signed top players like Eden Hazard, Luke Jovic and Ferland Mendy for huge amounts of money.

Arsenal are prepared to pay €35 million for Lucas Vazquez. Zinedine Zidane has already warned Lucas Vazquez about playing time coming at a premium from next season and if he wanted a shot at making the international squad, he should move to a club where he can play first-team football.
