Ilkay Gundogan, 23 (Borussia Dortmund)
Ilkay Gundogan is a world class box-to-box central midfielder locked in contract discussions with Borussia Dortmund.
The Germany international’s deal expires in June 2018, and the Bundesliga giants are naturally reluctant for him to enter the final year of his contract without signing a new one.
“We are talking to Gundogan’s family, who act as his advisors,” Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke is quoted as saying by the Daily Star.
“Obviously, we want to keep Ilkay but there is no agreement so far.
“At the end of the day, only he can decide whether he wants to continue his development with us.”
“He knows, though, that we expect a decision from him soon.”
Arsenal’s midfield is the strongest area of the team though, and it may be that Arsene Wenger deems reinforcement in that area unnecessary until the summer.
