Arsenal tipped to complete James Rodriguez transfer ahead of Everton and Man United

James Rodriguez is attracting the January transfer window attention of Arsenal and Everton as the Real Madrid midfielder looks set to leave the Bernabeu.

The Colombian international has struggled for game-time under current boss Zinedine Zidane and this has led to speculation aplenty over his future.

The 28-year-old has only featured in seven La Liga matches this term but that hasn't stopped Mikel Arteta from eyeing up for the playmaker.

But Arteta could face some serious competition from Carlo Ancelotti, who is looking for midfield reinforcements at the Toffees.

Real value Rodriguez at around £34 million but both of the Premier League interested parties are unlikely to stump up that kind of money.

This leaves the clear possibility of a loan deal until the end of the 2019/20 season. With that in mind, who is most likely going to get a deal across the line before the end of the January window?

Betfair have provided the odds on the likeliness of this player transfer and it's Arsenal who are the favourites to sign the Colombian.

The Gunners are priced at 10/1 to land Rodriguez, while Everton are next in line at 14/1.

The likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Manchester United are more of the far-fetched options, according to the bookmaker.

James Rodriguez to sign for before 3rd February 2020

Arsenal - 10/1

Everton - 14/1

Man Utd - 16/1

West Ham - 20/1

Chelsea - 20/1

PSG - 33/1

Leicester - 33/1

Bayern Munich - 33/1

Tottenham - 33/1
