Euro club battle Arsenal and Spurs to sign 48-goal midfielder next summer | OneFootball

Leon Goretzka will leave Bayern Munich in the summer as a free agent, and he has no shortage of suitors. 

There is strong interest from north London, with both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are keen to sign the former Schalke midfielder.

The two Premier League clubs could face competition from German giants Bayer Leverkusen.

The Gunners made an enquiry during the January transfer window after Bayern confirmed that Goretzka would be leaving in the summer.

However, the north London club were too late by that time, as the 67-time capped German international confirmed to Bayern that he will stay for the rest of the season.

Christian Falk told CFBayern that Arsenal are considering making a move for the 31-year-old midfielder next summer when he will become a free agent.

Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing Goretzka, but a lot could depend on where they finish this season.

Christian Falk has now confirmed to CFBayern that Bayer Leverkusen are also keen to sign the midfielder in the summer, as they see him as a potential replacement for Granit Xhaka.

Goretzka has scored 48 goals and registered 48 assists for Bayern in his career. He has started in 16 starts in the Bundesliga, and has made three further appearances from the bench.

Arsenal hold advantage in the race to sign Leon Goretzka?

The Gunners may have an advantage in the race to land the midfielder, although he could be tempted to stay in the Bundesliga.

Goretzka apparently wants to play in the Premier League, and therefore, he might consider a move to Arsenal if they make an offer.

The north London club can offer him Champions League football next season, which Spurs may not be able to do. Even Leverkusen may struggle to do so, which gives Arsenal an advantage in the race to sign him.
