Arsenal chase BVB star Maximilian Beier, club keen | OneFootball

His performances have not gone unnoticed in the Premier League either. On Saturday, Maximilian Beier (23) emerged as the match-winner in the 1-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart. His goal earned Borussia Dortmund three important points and top spot in the table.

According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal have set their sights on Beier. Originally, the North London club wanted to bring Julián Álvarez (26) back to England in the summer. The Argentine wore the Manchester City shirt from 2022 to 2024. But since the star striker was dreaming of a move from Atlético Madrid to FC Barcelona, negotiations stalled. The Gunners then began looking elsewhere. One forward who has greatly impressed Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (44) is Dortmund’s Beier.

Arsenal scouts have already been closely monitoring the BVB striker for well over a year. As part of their wide-ranging search, the Dortmund man is firmly on the radar of the reigning champions. In any case, the Gunners have also been following Dortmund’s matches very closely this season for another reason. As is well known, Ethan Nwaneri (19) has been playing for Borussia since joining on loan in the summer.

Competition from the Premier League

Since Arsenal’s decision-makers are keeping a very close eye on Nwaneri’s development, the London club’s scouting team is likely to be present at Dortmund matches quite frequently this season. At the same time, that gives them the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at Beier’s performances as well.

What the English club value most about Beier is his versatility. He is convincing not only as a traditional number nine, but also on the wings and in attacking midfield. After his strong performances in a BVB shirt, the Londoners believe the attacker is capable of making the direct step to the Premier League.

One thing is also clear: Arsenal are no longer alone in the transfer battle for the striker and must be prepared for high-profile competition. According to the report, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also put Beier, who is still under contract in Dortmund until 2029, on their shortlist.
