Arsenal are reportedly among several top clubs keeping a close eye on Alphonso Davies’ situation at Bayern Munich, as uncertainty looms over the Canadian star’s future. With Davies’ contract at the Allianz Arena nearing its end, speculation is rife about where the dynamic left-back will ply his trade next season.
According toThe Athletic, Liverpool are currently the favourites to land Davies if he moves to the Premier League. However, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are also said to be monitoring developments closely.

A move for Davies would mark a significant statement for Arsenal, but it could also signal a potential tactical shift under manager Mikel Arteta. The Spanish tactician has typically deployed inverted full-backs like Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riccardo Calafiori, who often drift into midfield to dictate play rather than bomb forward in traditional wide roles.

Davies, renowned for his blistering pace, energy, and attacking prowess, thrives in systems that emphasise wide play and wing-back roles. While his skill set makes him an ideal fit for teams looking to exploit the flanks, it contrasts with Arsenal’s current setup, where full-backs are expected to contribute heavily to ball retention and midfield play.

Should Arsenal pursue the 23-year-old, it would raise questions about Arteta’s tactical evolution and whether the Gunners plan to adjust their system to accommodate Davies’ strengths.
Despite his immense talent, it remains to be seen if Davies is a priority for Arsenal, given their existing depth at left-back. Clubs like Liverpool, who could make better use of his qualities, may offer a more compelling destination for the Canadian international.
With interest from some of Europe’s biggest names, the race for Davies promises to be one of the most intriguing transfer sagas in the upcoming window.
