Arsenal have watching brief on Leverkusen hit-man

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is tracking Bayer Leverkusen striker Stefan Kiessling, reports The Sun. The German striker, 25, has scored six goals in eight games this season and currently tops the Bundesliga scoring charts.

It appears the Frenchman is the man most keen on signing Kiessling, according to his agent.

Ali Bulut, said: "Stefan is becoming a big player and things are working for him at the moment.

"He is a very similar player to Rudi Voller with a bit of Oliver Bierhoff.

"Big clubs have kept looking at him since his days at Nuremburg.

"Six or seven big clubs have been in contact including England and Spain's top clubs, plus Bayern Munich.

"For four years Arsenal tried to loan Kiessling from Nuremburg, but it wasn't possible. Now, and in the future it might be possible.

"I think it is likely he will spend another year in Germany, but he wants to move to a big club, and after that I don't know."
