Arsenal formulating offers for Leon Goretzka, Julian Brandt

Arsenal will reportedly look to sign German midfield duo Leon Goretzka and Julian Brandt in Bosman moves in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Leon Goretzka and Julian Brandt are the subjects of interest from Arsenal. The Gunners are eager to bolster their first-team squad by signing versatile midfielders in the summer transfer window. So, the Bayern Munich midfielder and the Borussia Dortmund playmaker have arrived on the North London club’s wishlist.

Leon Goretzka has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Bayern Munich from FC Schalke 04 in July 2018. The 31-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup in recent seasons. Nevertheless, he has made nearly 300 appearances for Bayern Munich thus far while chipping in with 48 goals and 49 assists.

Meanwhile, the German midfielder will embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window, as he will not sign a new contract with Bayern Munich. Julian Brandt is in a similar situation, as he will not pen a new deal with Borussia Dortmund after it expires on June 30.

The 29-year-old has made nearly 300 appearances for the Black and Yellows thus far while chipping in with 56 goals and 69 assists. Meanwhile, the contract situations of Goretzka and Brandt have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Arsenal will be among the prospective suitors vying for their signature in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal’s interest in Julian Brandt and Leon Goretzka may be perplexing, but it is somewhat understandable. While the Gunners bolstered their midfield unit last summer, Christian Norgaard is on the wrong side of 30 and will only be a short-term solution in the middle of the park for the North London club.

While Goretzka will also fit in that category, recent reports have claimed that the Premier League table-toppers are the front-runners to sign the Bayern Munich midfielder in the summer transfer window. As for Brandt, a versatile playmaker like the 29-year-old German international can be a top-notch addition to the Arsenal attack.

The latest report has revealed that the Gunners are preparing offers to sign Goretzka and Brandt in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the German duo reunites at the Emirates in the summer transfer window.
