Arsene Wenger is said to be on the verge of recruiting Spanish prospect after setting up a deal with Real Madrid. This morning's Mirror claims midfielder Jose Rodriguez, 16, is ready to move to the Emirates following a tip-off from Arsenal's Spanish scout Francis Cagigao.

The paper says AW will offer Rodriguez a five-year contract starting next season after the player impressed in the Under-17s World Championships, with Arsenal now negotiating with Real Madrid over compensation.

As Stewart Downing arrives at Anfield in a £20m deal, the fourth major summer for the Reds in the present transfer window behind Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam and Alexander Doni, he has certainly made it clear he is keen to get on with things.

The former Villa man has featured on both the right and left flanks in his time at Villa, following his £10m move to them from Middlesborough in 2009 after he saw his boyhood team relegated to the Championship.
