Arsenal Lead Race for Bayern's Goretzka

Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, whose contract is set to expire this summer.

According to CFBayernInsider, the 31-year-old German international is nearing the end of his Bayern chapter, with North London emerging as his likely destination. Arsenal previously explored a deal in January but Goretzka chose to honor his commitment to Bayern for the remainder of the season.

While Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus are also reportedly interested, Goretzka is said to prefer a move to the Premier League. His Champions League experience and physical presence would add valuable depth to Arsenal's midfield, which already features Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
