Arsenal are showing interest in Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown, according to The Athletic.
The Gunners paraded their Premier League title through the streets of North London on Sunday afternoon as they celebrated a successful season under Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal missed out on Champions League glory after losing on penalties to reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain. However, the North London outfit will be keen to build on the 2025-26 campaign as they prepare to defend their league title.
The Gunners are looking to strengthen their squad this summer as they look to maintain their status as one of the best sides in Europe.
Arsenal interested in Nathaniel Brown
Nathaniel Brown
Brown, 22, is 'expected' to leave Eintracht Frankfurt this summer and according to The Athletic he is wanted by both Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
The left-back is part of Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany World Cup squad and can also play as a left-sided forward. It has been reported Frankfurt will look for around £52m to part ways with the player.
His performances at the World Cup have the potential to bump his price tag up.
Earlier this season, Nagelsmann described the player as "very fast, creative, and very composed on the ball".
He made 42 appearances for Frankfurt in all competitions in the most recent campaign, with four goals and six assists.
Brown played at left-back 20 times and in left midfield 16 times while on three occasions he was used as left winger. He also filled in at right-back and centre midfield on a handful of occasions.
If Arsenal did make a firm move for the player, he could offer versatility to Arteta. He has previously been linked to Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Brown came off the bench twice during Germany's World Cup qualification campaign but the most recent international break suggests the player has moved himself up the pecking order.
Speaking back in March, Nagelsmann said Germany "expect a lot of him" and that "his time will come soon."
During the friendlies in March, Brown started both games as Germany beat Ghana 2-1 and hammered Finland 4-0 - suggesting he is set to form a key part of the squad for the tournament which starts next week.
Arsenal already have strong options at left-back with Riccardo Calafiori and Myles Lewis-Skelly, although the latter is a midfielder by trade.
Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli are the left-forward options. It is unclear how Brown would fit into Arteta's plans.
He can offer the versatility of playing anywhere on the left while a potential move to North London could see Lewis-Skelly be used more regularly in his natural midfield position.
