Arsenal have entered discussions over a potential surprise move for Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder Leon Goretzka, according to TeamTalk.
Could Goretzka Be Arsenal’s January Midfield Boost?
The 67-cap international could be available this January as his influence at the Bundesliga giants wanes under coach Vincent Kompany.
While Mikel Arteta remains content with his current Arsenal squad, the club is open to opportunistic signings to bolster their Premier League title push.
Goretzka’s representatives have reportedly made contact with the Gunners to explore a potential switch.
Despite regular Bundesliga starts this season, the 30-year-old often makes early exits and has not featured in the Champions League starting lineup, indicating his reduced status in Munich.
However, Arsenal face significant competition for his signature, with both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur also linked.
Sources indicate that Spurs, now led by head coach Thomas Frank, appear the most likely destination at this stage.
Frank is understood to view Goretzka as a dependable option as the club assesses midfield reinforcements.
The final decision rests with Bayern Munich, who must choose between a January sale or a summer departure. While talks are active, a move to North London is considered uncertain.
Analysts suggest a transfer to Tottenham may not materialize, as not all decision-makers at the club are convinced the veteran German aligns with their long-term rebuilding project.
This development confirms Goretzka’s availability and highlights the ongoing midfield market activity among England’s top clubs, with Arsenal exploring a move that would add considerable experience to their engine room.
