Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is the latest player to be linked with a summer transfer to Arsenal.
German transfer guru Florian Plettenberg reported their interest earlier this week, Tweeting: “Arsenal is monitoring him and his situation at Bayern! But no negotiations yet.
"Lot of competition with (Martin) Ødegaard, (Granit) Xhaka, (Thomas) Partey, Jorginho… but nevertheless: He could get more playing time there. Now all depends on (Thomas) Tuchel.”

Gravenberch, who has also been linked with a host of other top sides in Europe, has previously been described by his former youth coach at Ajax, Brian Tevredenas a better version of Paul Pogba whilst also comparing him to Dutch legend Frank Rijkaard - high praise indeed for the 20-year-old.
Speaking about Gravenberch to Goal back in March 2021, Tevredenas said: “Physically, I see Frank in him from back in the day because he’s tall and very strong. But technically, I would say he’s a better version of Pogba in his best days at Juventus, in terms of his technique and his presence on the pitch.
"He’s very dominant like Pogba was, and that’s what I see in Ryan.” Gravenberch has struggled for game time since joining Bayern last summer, making just one Bundesliga start this term.
