Arsenal are monitoring Julian Weigl's situation at Borussia Dortmund.
The Gunners are on the lookout for midfield reinforcements this January and have scouted a number of targets.
23-year-old Weigl has fallen down the pecking order under Lucien Favre but is still regarded as a highly talented prospect.
SportsBild claims Arsenal are now ready to swoop for the German.
The north London club have ties to Dormund through head of recruitment Sven Mislintat.
Manchester City have also been long-term suitors for Weigl.
