Arsenal have not given up hope of signing Marco Asensio from Real Madrid, according to a report.
The Gunners had a £34m bid rejected for the winger in the summer, with Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti keen to keep him at the Bernabeu.
However, Asensio has started just two of the first seven La Liga games of the season and could be sold in January as Real Madrid look to raise funds for Kylian Mbappe and Erling Braut Haaland.
The Daily Star states that Mikel Arteta remains interested in taking the 25-year-old to North London and will make another bid for him once the transfer window re-opens.
Asensio showed his talent with a hat-trick in Real Madrid's 6-1 win over Real Mallorca last week.
Leicester City, Everton and Leeds United were all also interested in signing the Spaniard in the summer.
