Sky Sports: Arsenal now want to sign Kai Havertz's best buddy in the summer

Arsenal are one of the clubs keen on signing Borussia Dortmund winger Julian Brandt in the summer, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Patrick Berger.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will look to strengthen his attacking ranks at the Emirates Stadium club ahead of the next season, and the Gunners are monitoring the situation of the German.

Brandt will be a free agent in the summer, but the North London club are not the only ones interested in recruiting his services.

Arsenal and Barcelona are among the clubs monitoring the situation of Julian Brandt (29/🇩🇪), who will be a free agent this summer.

After seven years with Borussia Dortmund, Brandt wants to take the next step abroad, with Spain, Italy and the UK considered potential destinations.…

The 29-year-old, who is Kai Havertz’s best buddy, is also on the radar of Barcelona and more European bigwigs will be expected to join the race.

Brandt has been on the radar of Arsenal for a while, and it appears they are still keen on him.

The German’s versatility will come in handy under a manager like Arteta, and it could be one of the reasons they are attracted to him.

Brandt can play on both sides of the attack and through the middle, while he can also play as a central midfielder and behind the striker.

He has 56 goals and 69 assists in 298 appearances for Dortmund and could be a decent addition to the Arsenal attack as a free signing.

The former Bayer Leverkusen star has ten goals and three assists in 32 games so far this term and could be open to joining the Gunners ahead of next season.
