In-demand German could still turn out to be a Gunner

Marco ReusArsenal could still get their hands on Marco Reus this summer after Dortmund refused to rule out selling the 25-year-old.

The flamboyant German has become a target for a host of European clubs after turning down a new contract with Dortmund earlier in the month.

Dortmund were resisting advances from several sides over Reus’ availability but Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has not ruled out selling the in-demand German international.

Speaking to Der Westen, as reported by Metro, Watzke said on the matter:

‘We will have to wait and see whether we can keep hold of Marco.

‘All I can say is that I know him really well and it’s not about money with him.’

Knowing that they would be powerless to keep hold of him next summer due to his buyout clause dropping to just £19.8 million, the Bundesliga club are thought to want to rake in as much cash as they can for their prized asset.

If Arsene Wenger manages to pull off this transfer this summer then it would send out a message to our Premier League rivals as well as the whole of Europe.

Wenger has stated that he wants to bring a few more new faces before the window shuts, and perhaps may be one of those players. But the Frenchman will know that it will be hard work to convince the German to choose Arsenal over other potential suitors.

Should Reus join then it will surely mean the end of the road for Lukas Podolksi at Arsenal.

It a long shot, but after signing Mesut Ozil last summer – on deadline day – it wouldn’t surprise me.

    I would have played Podolski on the centre over Giroud. Poldi is the best finisher Arsenal has. If Marco joins nothing like it. But Poldi needs to be there upfront.
