Reports indicate that English club Chelsea has placed English full-back Alexander Arnold, currently a Real Madrid player, among its targets to strengthen the right-back position in the team.

Arnold joined Real Madrid at the beginning of the season on a free transfer, but he has not succeeded in delivering his well-known level, which has prompted Chelsea to seek his return to the English Premier League.

Sources confirmed that Chelsea's new coach, Liam Rossiniore, sees Arnold as the ideal choice to strengthen the team, and the club hopes to sign him on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy. However, reports indicate that Real Madrid has not yet decided to approve the loan, but may be willing to sell the player for more than 40 million euros, according to the website "CaughtOffside".

Arnold is considered one of the most prominent full-backs in the history of the English Premier League, with the ability to create chances thanks to his precise long passes and breaking through opposing defenses. Returning to the Premier League could help him regain his form and confidence after a decline in performance with Real Madrid.

The player also adds a distinctive attacking dimension to Chelsea, as he excels in crossing and set pieces, which enhances the team's options in playmaking and scoring goals.

Arnold's future remains under close watch, amid fans' anticipation to see whether Chelsea will finalize the deal in the current winter transfer window, as the club is keen to secure his services to strengthen the squad.
