According to a report from CaughtOffside, Arsenal are keen on acquiring the services of Antonio Cordero and they have held talks to sign the Malaga sensation on a pre-contract agreement. Newcastle have also been making moves while Real Madrid and Barcelona are also interested in him.
Cordero has certainly made quite a name for himself as some of the biggest clubs seem to be ready to battle it out for his signature. The teenager is regarded as one of the best young talents in Spain and he could have a very bright future. As a result, top clubs are already looking to prise him away.
He has come up the ranks at Malaga and got promoted to their first team ahead of the ongoing campaign. He has established himself as a key figure in the team in no time. In his 24 appearances in the Spanish second division this season, the 18-year-old has four goals and six assists.
With the Spanish youth international’s contract running out at the end of the season, multiple top clubs are looking to secure his services on a pre-contract agreement. His impressive performances have put him on the radar of giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Both clubs are always on the lookout for young stars who can help them in the long run and they have their eyes set on Cordero who could be the next big thing in Spanish football. While they are keen on his signature, they haven’t made any moves yet.
Cordero could move to England
The teenager could end up moving to the Premier League where Newcastle and Arsenal are both making significant efforts to sign him. The Magpies are building an interesting project under Eddie Howe and they are constantly looking at ways to further improve their squad.
They have been looking to sign young stars of late and are keen on having Cordero in their squad. They have already held talks regarding a potential move. Arsenal are pushing hard to sign him on a pre-contract agreement.
The Gunners are looking to add more depth on the left flank and the Magala winger could fancy a move to North London as Areta does tend to give young stars the opportunity to thrive at the highest level. They have already held talks and are considered to be the most advanced in the race for his signature.
While there is no shortage of interest in him, the player is yet to make a decision on his future. As a result, it will be interesting to see what Cordero chooses as the next step in his career.
