Arsenal are using scouts to track Girona left-back Miguel Gutierrez, who is also being tracked by a number of European clubs, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Gunners have been interested in the 22-year-old since he made his debut for Real Madrid in 2021.

According to Romano, the Gunners have sent scouts in recent weeks to monitor the 2001-born prodigy, who is under contract with Girona until 2027.

Other candidates for the defender have not been identified, but it is widely believed that Madrid are interested in the full-back.

Gutierrez came from Real Madrid’s youth ranks and joined Girona in 2022 for a fee of 4 million euros.

The Spanish giants have a 50 per cent sell-on clause in his contract, but a move for Gutirez is unlikely given the possible departures of Fran Garcia and Alphonso Davies.

Girona would realistically want to keep the Spaniard until the summer, but a big offer in January could force the Catalan club to move on.

Is there a new left-back?

The Gunners are considering a replacement left-back after confirming Carney’s loan move to Real Sociedad in the summer.

Despite performing well in the French league with Olympique de Marseille, Nuno Tavares moved to Nottingham Forest on loan with an option to buy, leaving Oleksandr Zinchenko as the only confirmed left-back in the team.

Gutierrez’s outstanding performances for Girona, who currently lead La Liga, have piqued the interest of scouts, with the Spaniard making 12 appearances across all competitions and registering one assist.

The full-back displayed his outstanding attacking and defensive abilities during Girona’s unexpected rise to power.

The 22-year-old has made 46 appearances for Girona and his impressive performances have attracted a lot of interest, with Arsenal keeping an eye on his development.

Gutierrez is one of the greatest reverse full-backs in Europe and this is crucial to Mikel Arteta’s tactical approach, moving into midfield and as a facilitator of a smooth transition between defense and attack.

I like full-backs who can function.
