Schalke are watching Stephan Lichtsteiner's situation at Arsenal.

The Daily Express says the Switzerland international only signed a one-year deal last summer after joining from Juventus.

And talks have reportedly begun on a potential new deal to give him another year in the Premier League.

The Gunners are keen to extend his stay in the capital.

But should the two parties fail to agree on an extension, Bundesliga club Schalke are interested in taking him to Germany.
