Bild journalist Christian Falk says that Arsenal players are already discussing the possibility of playing with Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Brandt.
The Gunners have plans to reinforce their team in this transfer window, and one position that they will probably strengthen is their creative midfield.
They have identified the likes of Houssem Aouar as a player who can make them better in that position, but it seems that Brandt is the more likely to join them now.
The arrival of the likes of Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho has seen Brandt struggle to play for the German side, but he remains one of the best players in their squad.
Having been scouted by Arsenal for some time now, Falk says that the Gunners is interested in him and because he shares the same agent with Per Mertesacker, it makes a move very likely.
Falk said via Bild: “We know that the Arsenal scouts have already made important moves and the club is also actively discussing it in the dressing room.
“We also know he has connections [at Arsenal], youth director Per Mertesacker has the same agents as him, and he is a bit tempted to come to London. I could very well imagine it coming true.
“Whether a transfer will take place is still a bit open, the winter (January) is perhaps a bit too short notice so it could be a summer thing.”
It remains unclear if the Gunners will sign the Germany international on a permanent transfer of if they will want to land him on loan with the possibility of making the deal permanent at the end of this season.
In all honesty, Brandt hasn’t exactly been pulling up trees for Dortmund. His form has been terrible and has been dropped for a while now. Not really time to take a punt.
Id rather go after Buendia, who once again was MOTM today scoring the winning goal.
Buendia is the exact player we need, most gooners can now see it, hopefully Edu and Arteta can see it to, big, strong, quick, very creative, physical, can track back, plays for the shirt, young with the most important factor has done!!! It in the premiership with a struggling Norwich side, put him in our side and what it will do for him, but it will transform us, don’t want any ageing has beens from abroad that are unproven in this league, Carrow Road here we come 😉😉, pick up Arrons whilst your there Edu,!!.
Eh… Brandt is 24 certainly not a aging has been
We really need isco if the board can be able to sign him
we dont need him nor anyone but keep our squad, lose some players brought in and taking our young player’s spots: .Pepe, Willian, Luiz, Ceballos sokratis if im not forgeting any more recent transfer. We have Holding, Chambers, Gabriel, Mustafi & Mari are enough, Saliba on loan.
Nelson, rowe, willock, Niles, martinelli, nketiah, Ballogun on his way, we are fine. Do not lose any, keep training with laca, auba & co is why these top players were brought in for; mentor these kids; works
all we need is a creative midfielder
In my opinion,brandt will be a perfect signing..he will replace Gnabry…we need Brandt,isco ,bissouma of Briton.. sell chamber,holding,willock,pepe,runnaldson..players to sent on loan,rowe,kentiah,bugan,niles,kolosinach…register ozil for his final months
