Arsenal are having an incredible season.
Arteta’s men are even points clear in the Premier League, aiming for a quadruple this season.
In recent seasons, The Gunners have brought in major signings, strengthening the squad across multiple competitions.
They’ve invested heavily in recent windows, as they attempt to build a team capable of competing both domestically and in Europe.
Arsenal now have depth across several positions, having spent £250m in the summer of 2025.
However, their recruitment team continue to monitor potential additions ahead of the next transfer window.
With the club still competing on multiple fronts this season, planning for the summer has already begun behind the scenes.
And now a new opportunity may have emerged on the European market.
According to the Metro, Arsenal are closely monitoring the situation of German international, Julian Brandt.
The report claims the attacking player is set to leave Borussia Dortmund when his contract expires at the end of the season.
If that’s the case, it’d bring an end to a seven-year spell with the Bundesliga side.
The 29-year-old has made nearly 300 appearances for Dortmund during that time, contributing to 122 goals and assists.
The German can operate as both an attacking midfielder, and winger.
With the player expected to become a free agent, several clubs across Europe are believed to be monitoring the situation closely.
Arsenal are among those watching developments, as the opportunity to sign an experienced attacking option without a transfer fee could prove attractive.
With the potential of captain Martin Odegaard leaving, Brandt is a like-for-like swap.
He is said to be “open to a new challenge” after several years in the Bundesliga.
For Arsenal, the focus remains firmly on the current campaign.
But with the summer transfer window approaching, opportunities like this rarely go unnoticed in North London.
