Finn Jeltsch is said to have attracted interest from a number of top clubs with his performances for VfB Stuttgart.

Writing for German publication Fussballdaten.de, transfer reporter Ekrem Konur reports that Arsenal are planning to make a “concrete approach” for the 20-year-old German centre-back.

The Gunners are far from Jeltsch’s only suitors, though, with Manchester United and Bayern Munich also reportedly among the clubs keeping a particularly close eye on the defender.

The report also mentions Liverpool and Juventus as clubs who have the youngster on their radar.

Stuttgart would reportedly demand a fee of around €50 million to enter negotiations for the centre-back, who remains under contract until 2030.

Jeltsch commented on reported interest from Bayern Munich a month ago.

“I’ve read that too. But it’s not something I’m really thinking about. My full focus is on the upcoming season with VfB. I have an ideal environment here and can play Champions League football," he told Stuttgarter Nachrichten.
