"Arsenal have reportedly made an enquiry about Bayern Munich central midfielder Leon Goretzka, though a move currently looks unlikely. That's according to a report from talkSPORT, who state that the Gunners had explored the option of landing Goretzka to give them cover for the injured Mikel Merino. The experienced Germany international is out of contract with Bayern this summer, so looks to be heading out of the Allianz Arena on a free transfer."
"Consulting our sources in the industry, we can confirm Arsenal have had some interest in Goretzka, but the 30-year-old appears to have made up his mind to see out his Bayern contract and leave for a new challenge in the summer. This gives Goretzka more time to evaluate offers that come in, and it's not necessarily clear that he'd get much more playing time at Arsenal than he's currently getting at Bayern."
"There have also been surprise rumours today about Arsenal eyeing up Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali. This was confirmed by David Ornstein of the Athletic, but with the reporter also making it clear that Tonali would not be leaving St James' Park this winter. Tonali could perhaps be one to watch again in the summer, whereas Goretzka would surely only have been a short-term option as he no longer looks like being at the peak of his powers."
Arsenal made an enquiry about Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka as potential cover for injured Mikel Merino, though a move now appears unlikely. Goretzka is out of contract with Bayern this summer and looks set to leave the Allianz Arena on a free transfer. The 30-year-old seems intent on completing his Bayern deal and evaluating offers in the summer, reducing immediate likelihood of a transfer to Arsenal. It is uncertain whether Goretzka would receive more playing time at Arsenal than at Bayern. Arsenal remain linked with alternative midfield targets, including Sandro Tonali, who is not expected to leave Newcastle this winter.
