Manchester City and Arsenal are “monitoring the progress” of Real Madrid midfielder Bruno Iglesias, according to Goal.

The website claims that the two Premier League sides are hoping that the teenager’s path to the first team at the Bernabeu is blocked, allowing them to swoop in and sign a very promising young player.

Iglesias has yet to make his senior debut for Real, despite some impressive form for the La Liga club’s Under 19s this season. He helped his team progress to the knockout stages of the UEFA Youth League, only to be knocked out by archrivals Atletico in the last 16.

The 18-year-old has actually racked up double figures for both goals and assists this campaign, as well as captaining his side on more than one occasion.

Iglesias’s style of play has actually been likened to Brazilian legend Kaka, with his preferred role being as a no.10, but we shall see whether he can live up to the billing in the coming years.
