Arsenal are reportedly in the mix with rivals Tottenham to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretska this month, as sources reveal Thomas Frank\u2019s stance on the 30-year-old.<\/p>\n
The Gunners are pushing to lift their first Premier League title since 2003 and while Mikel Arteta is happy with his squad, opportunistic signings are not off the table.<\/p>\n
Goretzka<\/a>, an experienced performer who\u2019s run out 67 times for Germany, could leave Bayern this month. His\u00a0influence in Munich has diminished since Vincent Kompany took charge last season. <\/p>\n Though he does still start fairly regularly in the Bundesliga, when he does, he\u2019s often hauled off on the hour mark. He has also not started a single game in the Champions League this term.<\/p>\n Goretzka\u2019s agents are looking to find him a new club this month, and according to CaughtOffside<\/a>,\u00a0Arsenal could be in the mix to sign him, which would come as a shock given their plethora of quality midfield options.<\/p>\n The report claims that his representatives have been in contact with Arsenal<\/a>, as well as Manchester United and Tottenham.<\/p>\n \u2018Everything\u00a0depends on whether Bayern are willing to sanction a January exit rather than wait until the summer\u2019, the report notes, but we understand that Spurs are the most likely club to take a chance on Goretzka, rather than the Gunners.<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
