Arsenal have reportedly performed a transfer U-turn over Real Madrid star Isco due to the emergence of Emile Smith Rowe.

Spanish outlet Marca claim the youngster’s recent impressive form for the Gunners has convinced Mikel Arteta to utilise funds in other areas.

Smith Rowe has started Arsenal’s last three Premier League games, all wins against Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom.

And Arsenal’s stance means the Spaniard is now most likely to seal a summer switch to Sevilla after making just three starts this term – although Carlo Ancelotti may try and take him to Everton.
