REAL MADRID | ARSENAL FC - TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS EYE ALVARO MORATA | LOAN

It was posted here weeks back, English Premier League Clubs Arsenal FC & Tottenham Hotspurs have Real Madrid young U-21 Spanish International forward Alvaro Morata on their list of "Winter Market 2014" incorporations. The Spanish Football Club via the voice of its Coach Carlo Ancelotti has let known that the player will stay, however Arsenal through Manager/Coach Arsene Wenger has been heavily insisting especially after Arsenal forward Walcott injured himself seriously & has solicited the loan of the player.

According the news coming out of England - "International Business Times" - today the representative of Morata ( Juanma Lopez ) is in London to sit down with Directives of Tottenham & Arsenal to hear their views. The idea is to then fly back to Madrid & put on the table the loan offers & see if the player decides to take on the "English Adventure".

The truth is that Alvaro Morata has been recently eclipsed by another youngster & Spanish U-21 International in Jese, who has found the confidence of his Coach & technical staff & is getting playing time. The player has taken advantage of his opportunities & is assisting with goals & with his own, the latest yesterday in the Spanish Cup match against Osasuna.

With starting forward Karim Benzema  & Jese in front of Morata,  a loan to another Club that gives the youngster playing time maybe the best option to keep the player evolving & growing. However Coach Ancelotti may be hesitant to let the young player go in case Benzema suffers an injury or suspension which will leave the "Striker" position thin.  Plus, in today´s Press Conference Coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed that Morata himself has asked Real Madrid to stay.

True or not, the issue will be hot in coming weeks & the player ( & Club ) will have to make difficult decisions. No one doubts that a Football Player - especially a young promise - needs to play in order to develop & grow. Morata under that current conditions & circumstances is being "blocked" out & will keep the bench warm.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS FOCUSES ON REAL MADRID YOUNGSTER JESE

The Real Madrid youngster has been knocking at the doors of the first team all last season. Jese Rodriguez has comeback from the U-20 FIFA World Championships with 5 goals & with the attention of the mayor European Clubs. According to the English Press, Tottenham Hotspurs is very interested & will prepare a 12M€ offer for the young Spanish Football promise. 

The player has a year left of his contract & there is "doubt" at Real Madrid whether the forward will renew. Jese wishes to play & is doing everything he can to get a "guarantee" from the Club that he will have minutes. Real Madrid from its end see Jese as a future promise & also thinks about possible loans to keep the player active. The competition is fierce at Real Madrid upfront with Higuain ( still a Real Madrid player apart from said outside offers ) , Karim Benzema & another youngster Morata.

The other news connected with this story is that it may open the door for Real Madrid with their attempts to negotiate with Tottenham Hotspurs over their winger Gareth Bale. Jese could be a negotiation piece between the Club, a lever that could lower the transfer price & also fill the gap created with a possible Bale departure.

At this stage it is all speculation & rumour. So much so for young Jese as it is for Gareth Bale, the last in a complex & difficult stage between Clubs. Stay tuned!

SPANISH FOOTBALL PROMISE | JESE

Continuing with posts that highlight some upcoming & bright young SPANISH FOOTBALL talent, today we give the stage to JESE RODRIGUEZ RUIZ. Born in the Canary Islands back in 16.02.1993 the player was brought over to REAL MADRID CF when he was scoring more than 100 goals a season at the junior levels at Club Hurracan. 

Jese

Big talent that is accompanied by a "hot" character the youngster is slowly maturing both as a person & player to the stage that he got some minutes (scored on the last pre-season China tour ) with the senior Real Madrid team under Coach Mourinho. Explosive forward that helped lift the Real Madrid B team - Castilla - into the 2º Division with 10 goals, Jese has "exploded" during the U-19 European Championships.

Maximum Spanish & U-19 European tournament goalscorer (Golden Boot) with five goals, the Spanish International was also voted MVP of the Final which Spain won 1- 0 against Greece with his goal.

This does not guarantee anything at Real Madrid, many young forward stars have had to leave to find a place in Spanish Football. Roberto Soldado ( Valencia CF ), Alvaro Negredo (Sevilla FC) & Juan Mata ( Chelesea FC) are just three - now - big names. Up to Jese to find & fight for his place.
