According to Football Transfers, the Arsenal club is interested in recruiting midfielder Joshua Kimmich, because coach Arteta really likes a versatile player like the German star.

In the last two seasons, Arsenal has become the team competing for the Premier League title. Therefore, coach Mikel Arteta understands that he needs to have top stars for his ambitions.

Accordingly, Arsenal wants to recruit Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich next summer to fill the left-back position. Another target of the Gunners is Jeremie Frimpong, a player currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen.

Currently, Kimmich’s contract runs until 2025. The extension with Bayern is facing a deadlock, as the German player wants to increase his salary, while the board of directors finds it difficult to accept, because of the achievements of both Kimmich and Bayern. Munich this year is not good.

German media has been hinting for many months that Bayern is ready to sell Kimmich, once they cannot successfully renew. Sky Germany recently revealed 5 destinations that German football stars are aiming for, including Arsenal.

Bayern doesn’t seem to want to sell Kimmich, but they are waiting on the situation and want a good enough offer. Sports director Max Eberl said Kimmich is waiting for a new coach to replace Tuchel before making the final decision.

It is known that during the recent German national team training camp, midfielder Kai Havertz spoke privately with Kimmich about the possibility of joining the London team. Thanks to that, Arsenal will evaluate the interest of the Bayern Munich midfielder, then take more specific steps in the future.

At Arsenal, Kimmich could be a complement to the central midfield position, but perhaps Arteta wants to use him more on the right wing. In a few recent matches against Bayern and Germany, the 29-year-old star played right-back and showed more impressive performances when playing midfielder.
