Real Madrid are reportedly keen on brining Arsenal coach and scout Francis Cagigao to the Bernabeu.

The Sun claims that Rafa Benitez is desperate to add the 45-year-old to his backroom staff.

Cagigao's contract at Arsenal is running out and the club are yet to offer him a new deal.

He is still a valued member of Arsene Wenger's technical team, however.

Cagigao, who started out as a scout at Arsenal before becoming their assistant technical secretary, played a key role in bringing Cesc Fabregas to north London.

He also attempted, unsuccessfully, to try and broker deals for Barcelona stars Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique.
