Arsenal are looking to add some inventiveness to their side this month and have targeted a man from Borussia Dortmund, while a pair from Manchester United are about to leave Old Trafford, all in the Euro papers.
BRANDT OFFER FOR ARSENAL
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may have said cleaning the decks was his priority this January, but they could still make additions in January.
And Sport Bild’s Christian Falk reports that Arteta is interested in making a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt.
According to Falk, the Gunners have already made behind-the-scenes moves for a transfer to occur this month.
Dortmund, however, do not want the 24-year-old to leave and Arsenal face a battle to sign the German international.
The report claims that Brandt is already being discussed in the Gunners locker room. It would add some genuine creativity to a midfield that has struggled to create chances this season.
“We know that the scouts have already made important moves and the club is also actively discussing this in the locker room,” Falk said. IMAGE.
However, Falk says January may come too early for the deal and that a summer move may be more likely.
That could make the Gunners turn to Real Madrid’s Isco or Sevilla’s Joan Jordan as they look to add some cunning, in addition to downloading a number of unwanted fringe players.
