Karius, who was once in the youth system of Manchester City, has emerged as one of the finest young footballers in German football and second choice goalkeeper for the national team behind the irrepressible Manuel Neuer.
With Karius potentially available cheaply during the Janaury window, however, the Gunners face competition from Borussia Dortmund, FC Schalke 04 and Valencia to sign the 21 year-old.
