Champions League winning midfielder prefers Arsenal move over other options
Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka is ready to join Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.
The experienced German midfielder will be high in demand when the transfer window opens this summer.
Goretzka is about to become a free agent at the end of the season and speculation has increased over his next move.
Top clubs are targeting a move for him and Arsenal, along with AC Milan, are working to sign him as a bargain option in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Having performed well for Bayern Munich and Germany, his stocks are high and he is seen as an option to strengthen the midfield by top European clubs.
Leon Goretzka is ready for a new challenge
The German midfielder is expected to announce his next move before the World Cup in the summer, where he is expected to feature for Julian Nagelsmann’s team.
Having won several Bundesliga titles and a Champions League during his team with the German giants, Goretzka is someone who is widely recognised for his playing style and his experience in the game.
He is free to negotiate with teams over his next move as he is about to become a free agent.
AC Milan are pushing hard to sign him as part of their midfield rebuild but the midfielder has reportedly made up his mind to test himself in the Premier League and he feels Arsenal provide the ideal opportunity for his next move.
Should Arsenal make a move for the Bayern midfielder?
The Gunners are known for adding young talent to the team under the leadership of Mikel Arteta and if they go on to sign someone like Goretzka, it will be a shift from their usual transfer strategy.
Although they have the assurance of Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice in the midfield, Arteta feels signing an experienced player who can also provide depth to the squad is crucial.
There is no doubt about the pedigree of Goretzka but it remains to be seen if he can cope with the physical demands of the Premier League.
Bundesliga exports have often struggled in the Premier League, as seen from recent signings like Florian Wirtz at Liverpool or Jamie Gittens at Chelsea but since Arteta is known for his clever moves in the market, it appears like he has a plan for the German.
