Arsenal are in contact with the minders of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze.

The Mirror says the 26-year-old would cost in the region of £18million should he leave Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Arsenal are in contact, but are one of five Premier League clubs keen.

Arsenal, Everton and West Ham are among the clubs keeping tabs on the 26 year old's situation.

And Leicester and Newcastle have made tentative enquiries for Gotze too.

He is confident he can recapture his form that led to him being hailed as Germany's answer to Lionel Messi.

And he reckons a fresh start in the biggest league in the world will give him the perfect platform to showcase his ability again.
