Arsenal 'interested in signing Julian Brandt'

Borussia Dortmund attacker Julian Brandt is reportedly a transfer target for Arsenal.

The 24-year-old has been a regular for BVB during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring once and providing one assist in 22 appearances in all competitions.

Brandt has a contract at Signal Iduna Park until June 2024, meanwhile, having penned a five-year deal upon his arrival from Bayer Leverkusen during the summer of 2019.

According to Bild, Arsenal are interested in signing the versatile attacker, with journalist Christian Falk claiming that the Germany international has been "a topic in the dressing room".

Brandt has already played in five separate positions for Dortmund during the 2020-21 campaign, although he has contributed just one assist and zero goals in 13 Bundesliga appearances.

Arsenal are thought to be keen to sign a new playmaker in January amid suggestions that Mesut Ozil could finally leave the club to join Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
