Arsenal target Mario Goetze has not asked to leave Borussia Dortmund.

That is according to the club's chief executive, Hans-Joachim Watzke.

The Germany international is being linked with a move to the London club, as he only has a year left on his contract.

And Watzke believes that the World Cup winner has no reason to ask for a move.

"I know no reason why he should go," Watzke said to reporters about the attacking midfielder.

He also added that Goetze had "not requested a transfer."

Goetze managed 26 appearances for Dortmund in the Bundesliga last season, managing 7 goals and 7 assists in those games.
