Arsenal have received a major transfer boost with Borussia Dortmund star Manuel Akanji set to leave the Signal Iduna Park this summer.
The Swiss international has been at Dortmund since 2018, and has been one of their starting centre-backs when fit this season. But his contract is about to enter its final year and there are major doubts that he will agree to extend his stay with Marco Rose 's side.
While it has been a disappointing first campaign under Rose's management, Akanji has impressed, drawing admiring glances from the likes of the Gunners. With that interest in mind, Akanji is now looking at making a step to a different club.
