Arsenal want to sign Eintracht Frankfurt full-back Nathaniel Brown this summer, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is already working on reinforcing his defensive depth at the Emirates Stadium club, and the ‘very fast and very creative’ German international is on the Gunners’ radar. Brown is expected to leave the Bundesliga club this summer, but the North Londoners are not the only ones keen.
Bayern Munich also want the versatile 22-year-old defender, and Arsenal will hope to pip them and other suitors to his services. Brown plays at both left-back and right-back, and he also play further forward on the both flanks. His attacking and defensive qualities have attracted the Gunners, and getting a deal done before the World Cup could be in their best interest. The Frankfurt star is expected to be a starter for Germany at the World Cup later this month, and an impressive campaign could see his value skyrocket and attract more bigwigs.
Arsenal have quality full-backs, but not many of them are as creative as Brown in attack, and Arteta could do with that particular skill-set next term.
The Gunners boss wants to retain the Premier League title next season and also win the Champions League, and he needs to sign players capable of improving his team.
