Arsenal identify risk-free summer transfer as Mikel Arteta aims to add to midfield options

Arsenal are eyeing a move for Hoffenheim's Florian Grillitsch, who is available on a free transfer this summer, according to reports.

The midfielder's deal with the Bundesliga outfit expires in a matter of months and he is currently able to negotiate with foreign clubs about a pre-contract agreement. That would allow Arsenal to steal a march on some of the German clubs who are also keen on the Austrian.

Grillitsch has made over 30 appearances in each of his past three seasons with Hoffenheim and continues to be a regular. The Gunners are looking to bolster their options in midfield and the 26-year-old still has his best years ahead of him. Mohamed Elneny’s deal expires this summer meaning they will be on the look out for new faces.
