Arsenal are interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.
According to Sky Sports Germany and Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal have held concrete talks to sign the versatile midfielder. It will be interesting to see if they can complete the deal.
Kimmich is capable of operating as a defensive midfielder and a right-back. If Arsenal can complete the deal, his versatility will be an added bonus.
Furthermore, he has the quality and the experience to play for the biggest clubs in the world and fight for major trophies regularly.
Arsenal need to add more quality and depth to their side and signing the experienced Bayern Munich star would be a wise decision.
The player has proven himself in the Bundesliga and with the German national team. He might be open to taking up a new challenge at this stage of his career. A move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. He has been linked with Manchester City in recent forms as well.
The 30-year-old will help Arsenal improve defensively and his experience and leadership qualities could prove to be invaluable as well. Kimmich will be out of contract in the summer and signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a major coup.
Can Arsenal convince Kimmich to join?
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can convince the player to join them.
The midfielder is already eligible to secure a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs. It remains to be seen whether he is ready to sign a deal with Arsenal over the next few months.
The player is at the peak of his powers and he will want to compete at the highest level. Arsenal have been pushing for the league title over the last three seasons and they have an ambitious project. They have a talented squad as well and the German international could be attracted to the idea of playing for them. It would be an exciting challenge for him at this stage of his career and it remains to be seen whether he can adapt to English football quickly and make an instant impact if the transfer goes through.
