Julian Brandt will reportedly be allowed to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer. Arsenal remains interested in the attacking midfielder.
Fussball Transfers claim that the German international can depart the Bundesliga side. Dortmund needs to sell this summer, with Brandt one of the names who could leave in the transfer window.
The report also states that Arsenal remains interested in the 25-year-old winger.
Furthermore, the Gunners have missed out on Emi Buendia to Aston Villa, whilst Martin Odegaard looks set to remain with Real Madrid next season.
Julian Brandt has been linked before
The Athletic reported in December that Arsenal are keen on the playmaker, yet links between the player and club have somewhat died down since then.
Indeed, Arsenal are eager to sign a creative midfielder this summer. Emile Smith Rowe currently remains the club’s only player who can fulfil this role.
As reported by Football London, the likes of Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka are all edging towards the exit door at the Emirates, with these sales likely to raise the Gunners chances of signing a quality creative player.
Insider View:
With Buendia now an Aston Villa player and Odegaard set to remain a Madrid player, the Gunners have been dealt a killer blow for their summer plans.
Indeed, the two playmakers were the club’s two main targets this transfer window. However, Brandt could be a dark horse option for the Gunners should they decide to pursue the German international.
Although the 25-year-old midfielder has not had the best of times with Dortmund, there’s no denying Brandt’s talent. The playmaker hit seven goals and 14 assists in his final season with Bayer Leverkusen.
