Arsenal ‘interested’ in £65m-rated attacking midfielder as Gunners eye Serie A striker
The Gunners are reportedly keen on Austrian international Marcel Sabitzer and are plotting a summer move to bring the 28-year-old to the Emirates Stadium.
Sabitzer has endured an underwhelming season with Bayern after joining the club from Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig last summer and is attracting interest from a number of clubs.

The report also suggests Bayern will allow Sabitzer to depart at the end of the season and that will give the Gunners some hope they can secure one of their main transfer targets.

Serie A star likely to snub Gunners move in favour of Premier League rivals

Hide AdHe signed a new contract to keep him at Inter until 2026 last October - but that has not prevented further speculation over his future.
The 24-year-old has a tally of 19 goals in 42 appearances this season and is under consideration as a replacement for Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette as the duo approach the final months of the Arsenal contracts.
However, Italian outlet CalcioMercato have reported Martinez is ready to ‘snub’ a move to the Emirates and is also set to ignore an approach from Spanish champions Atletico Madrid in the hope of securing a move to Liverpool or Manchester City.
