Wharton isn’t the only potential option linked with a move to Arsenal as a promising option for the side in the future.

According to German outlet BILD, the Gunners are one of several sides looking to sign Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz.

There are just over two-years remaining on Wirtz’s deal, potentially putting pressure on a sale from Leverkusen, should he angle for an exit.

The star has already won a Bundesliga title, while his impressive showings in the Champions League have also touted him for greatness.
