Leon Goretzka has given Arsenal fresh hope of a securing a summer deal for his services after talking up the possibility of a move abroad when he leaves Bayern Munich at the end of the campaign.
The German star currently plays for FC Bayern Munich and has been an important figure in the club’s midfield for several seasons. However, speculation about his long-term future has intensified in recent months, with several Premier League sides monitoring the situation.
Speaking recently about the next stage of his career, Goretzka suggested that a move outside Germany could appeal to him when the right opportunity arises. Those comments have reportedly alerted clubs across Europe, including Arsenal FC, who are believed to be assessing midfield options ahead of the summer transfer window.
He told Sky Deutschland: ‘I had already said it when I announced my decision, that I had the feeling that now was the time to leave. Maybe it’s the last chance I have to go abroad. I do want to play really competitive football again.’
Asked whether he is more of a ‘sun’ or an ‘English rain’ type, Goretzka joked: ‘Who doesn’t like the sun, right? But I certainly won’t make my next stop dependent on the weather. ‘We’ll find something nice.’
ARSENAL have been linked with a number of midfield reinforcements as manager Mikel Arteta looks to maintain depth and quality in the centre of the pitch. Arsenal remain determined to strengthen a squad that has been competing at the top end of the Premier League while also balancing the demands of European competition.
Goretzka’s experience at the highest level is thought to make him an appealing option. Since joining Bayern in 2018, the Germany international has won multiple domestic titles and played a key role in the club’s triumph in the UEFA Champions League in 2020.
Known for his powerful running, physical presence and goal-scoring ability from midfield, Goretzka has developed into one of the Bundesliga’s most recognisable central midfielders. His versatility allows him to operate as a box-to-box player, a deeper midfielder or even in a more advanced role when required.
While there has been no formal approach from Arsenal at this stage, reports suggest the club’s recruitment team has long admired the player’s profile. The possibility that he could consider a move abroad has only increased interest among potential suitors.
ARSENAL are expected to review multiple targets before making concrete decisions once the summer window approaches, but adding Goretzka on a free deal is a real possibility
