Reports suggest that both Arsenal and Newcastle United are eyeing a potential move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt. Despite Brandt recently securing a new contract with Dortmund until 2026, The Mirror indicates a keen interest from both Premier League clubs. The report notes that Jurgen Klopp admires the German player, although Liverpool is currently not involved in the race to sign him.
Taking a broader perspective, in the two Champions League encounters, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle had a close-up view of the 27-year-old German sensation. Brandt showcased his skills by scoring in Tuesday night’s 2-0 victory against Newcastle. Arsenal, too, continues to monitor Brandt, despite Dortmund’s firm stance against entertaining offers for the player they acquired for around £22 million.
Looking ahead, Brandt is part of Germany’s squad for the November international break and is set to return to Dortmund for their match against Monchengladbach on November 25.
