Arsenal are looking to poach another young prospect from Spain, Alocyano’s Lucas Torro, according to talkSPORT.

The Gunners are well-known for nabbing bright talents away from Spain. Cesc Fabregas, who was sold to Barcelona last summer for £35 million, is a prime example of this having been prised away from the Camp Nou when he was just 16.

The north London club also managed to snatch Spanish teenagers Jon Toral and Hector Bellerin from the Catalan giants last year.

Now Arsenal are set to do battle with Real Madrid for Torro, and are willing to swap Wellington Silva, who is currently out on loan to the Segunda Division side, in hope of landing the talented teenager.

Alocyano president Juan Serrano has confirmed the Gunners interest in Torro, but insists Valencia have first priority over the player as the two Spanish clubs have a collaborative agreement with one another.

The young midfielder, who made his debut for Alocyano earlier in the month against Almeria as a late sub, has been earmarked as a bright prospect for the future.

Arsenal look set to continue negotiations over a possible deal for Torro, but will face competition from Real Madrid for the youngster’s signature.
