The report also suggests Arsenal are leading the race for his signature because of the player’s interest in moving away from Spain.
The 21-year-old joined Leganes from Malaga in August 2018 and signed a five-year contract.
He began his professional career with Malaga after joining from the Mohammed VI Football Academy in Morocco in 2015 as a youngster, going on to make 41 appearances for Boquerones.
