Chelsea’s chances of landing Real Madrid playmaker Isco have been boosted after Manchester City ruled them out themselves out of the race to sign him.
The London Evening Standard reports that both Arsenal and Chelsea are interested, with the Spaniard looking set to leave the club soon.
Isco is facing a bleak future at the Bernabeu after falling out of favour at the club.
It had been suggested that Manchester City could look to swoop for the player at the end of the season, with Pep Guardiola a known admirer.
Despite City no longer being in the running, it appears that a move to the Premier League remains an option.
Chelsea are likely to be linked with moves for a number of Real Madrid players in the coming months, with Eden Hazard expected to seal a big-money transfer to Spain at the end of the season.
Real could look to offload a player as part of the deal in an effort to convince Chelsea to sell.
