Arbeloa plots Fulham overhaul with triple raid on former club Real Madrid

New Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa is wasting no time in tapping into his Real Madrid connections. According to a report from BBC, the Spanish boss has lined up three players from the Bernabéu as he looks to strengthen his squad for the Premier League campaign. Arbeloa wants to bring in Argentine winger Franco Mastantuono on loan, while also targeting permanent moves for defender Fran García and forward Gonzalo García. Both García and García have struggled for regular minutes in Madrid, and Arbeloa believes a fresh start in London could unlock their potential. Fulham finished 11th in the Premier League last season with 52 points — just one point short of a European spot. Arbeloa, who previously worked within Real Madrid’s coaching setup, is banking on his knowledge of the club’s talent pool to bridge that gap and push the Cottagers into contention for continental football.
