According to Team Talk, Leon Goretzka could be headed to the Premier League in the summer, with Arsenal reportedly leading the race. The German midfielder will be a free agent in the summer, with a host of teams interested, including the Gunners.
Leon Goretzka will be a man in high demand after Bayern Munich confirmed he will depart the club when his contract expires in the summer. The midfielder will be a free agent, which will attract many clubs towards the German international in the summer.
There were rumours of an early departure, with Arsenal one of those enquiring for Goretzka as per multiple reports. The Gunners were alerted in the market for opportunities following Mikel Merino’s long-term injury, which might see him miss the remainder of the campaign.
Arsenal are among a host of other clubs keeping tabs on Goretzka ahead of the summer window to sign him on a free transfer. The report suggests the Gunners are front-runners for the 31-year-old Bundesliga-winning midfielder, as Mikel Arteta might consider adding another experienced player to the mix.
There were late links to Sandro Tonali in January, and Arsenal are among the teams interested in the Italian ahead of the summer. There’s the prospect of bringing in a new midfielder regardless, but with Goretzka ‘s availability, the Gunners might look to get him on the cheap.
Arsenal may not be the only team keen, with other rivals expected to keep an eye on Goretzka. The 31-year-old Bundesliga-winning midfielder will have many offers on his table when he leaves Bayern Munich in the summer.
There’s the possibility of Saudi Clubs showing an interest, while Turkish sides are also keeping tabs. Goretzka will decide on the next steps depending on how he views his next club. Should he still consider taking up a big challenge on the sporting side, the Premier League should be the main option, with Arsenal probably one of the most attractive sides to join in the current moment.
