"As per Football Insider, Arsenal are interested in Elche starlet Rodrigo Mendoza, who has impressed in La Liga this season. It's been a successful avenue for Arsenal in recent transfer windows, bringing in players from Spain. Zubimendi and Mikel Merino, and Mosquera, have come in to Arsenal in recent windows as well. Obviously, Andrea Berta, the sporting director, knows all about Spanish football from his time in Atletico Madrid, so he'll be well connected as well."
"Mendoza is a very highly rated young player having a good season for Elche in La Liga, so no surprise that Arsenal and other clubs are keeping tabs on the situation. I think that's what it is right now. I think they're keeping tabs on him. I don't think it's anything firm or concrete that they're going to make a move for him. He has got a release clause in his contract for 17m,"
