Tottenham and Arsenal could be set for a major battle off the pitch in the summer transfer window for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt. The Gunners have held previous interest in the German international and his recent upturn in form has alerted their north London rivals Spurs, who are in desperate need of a creative midfielder.
The 26-year-old has been a consistent figure in the Dortmund set up following his move from fellow Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. In the first few months of the 2022/23 season, Brandt saw his minutes in the first-team diminish as he grabbed four goals and two assists in the league prior to the World Cup break.
With the World Cup contested in November and December, with Brandt not playing a single minute for his country, and the winter break in the Bundesliga over December and January, he did not compete in a competitive game for over two months.
