Arsenal are considering resurrecting their interest in
Real Madrid youngster Daniel Parejo, according to reports
in the Spanish capital.
The 19-year-old midfielder caught Arsene Wenger's eye in the
European Under-19 Championship last year and spoke some time ago
about the alleged attention from North London.
Sources claim Wenger is willing to pay the €15 million (£11.8
million) clause that could trigger a move to England but the
teenager will need some convincing to abandon his dream of wearing
the white shirt at the Bernabeu.
When quizzed about the prospect of a transfer to The Gunners in
the Spanish press, he was determined to stress he is prepared to
wait for an opportunity at Real.
"For me, it is a compliment that such an important European team
is showing interest," he said recently.
"I have heard rumours but my intention is very clear - my dream
is to succeed in Madrid.
"Nobody dislikes something like that [being compared to Cesc
Fabregas] but I prefer to look in the mirror and see Raul, Guti and
Iker Casillas, three footballers who have come out of this youth
system and have gone on to triumph in Madrid.
"I am young and I have patience."
