Arsenal keep tabs on Spurs target Morata as Wenger eyes January loan move for Madrid striker
Arsenal are being kept updated on the availability of Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.The 21-year-old striker, who is also a target for Tottenham, may be allowed to leave on loan in January.
And Arsenal, who are also watching Schalke’s talented 18-year-old midfielder Max Meyer, are interested in the Spain Under-21 international as they look to bolster their forward options in the new year.

Luis Suarez and Robert Lewandowski are the sort of calibre player that Madrid are looking for and the former wanted to join them in the summer.
According to rumours in the Spanish capital, if Madrid can sign a new striker then the door will be open for Morata's loan move.
The Gunners are short on options up front, while Spurs are desperate to boost a strikeforce in which the lead man is Roberto Soldado, who has not performed well after signing for £26million this summer.
Morata was on target for Madrid on Saturday when they beat Almeria 5-0, with Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco and Karim Benzema also on the scoresheet for Ancelotti's side.
