Arsenal have moved ahead of Chelsea in the race to sign Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata, according to the Daily Mirror.
Los Blancos exercised their buy-back clause in the strikers contract at Juventus, however they now look set to sell him on for a profit, with a host of clubs keen to sign him this summer.
Chelsea and Arsenal have been strongly linked with the 23-year-old, however he wants to play Champions League football, meaning that Antonio Conte's side is not an option.
On top of that, the Gunners are prepared to offer the Spain international a bumper contract, which includes £144,000-a-week wages, and would see him earning well over his current €4 million per year in Madrid.
