Arsenal Eyes Bayern Midfielder Leon Goretzka

Arsenal are reportedly close to signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, who will leave the club when his contract expires.

Arsenal have been in talks to bring in 31‑year‑old German international Leon Goretzka as his Bayern Munich contract ends this summer. The club, which has already explored a deal in January, sees him as a seasoned addition to a midfield that already features Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard. Goretzka has 21 Bundesliga appearances this season and a wealth of Champions League experience, making him an attractive option for Arsenal’s European ambitions. Interest also comes from Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus, but the German midfielder reportedly prefers a Premier League move.
