Arsenal to duel it out with Borussia Monchengladbach for next Mario Gotze

ARSENAL look set to go head to head with Borussia Monchengladbach in their bid to prise Leon Goretzka.

The 18-year-old has earned rave reviews for VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga second division and has been compared to Mario Gotze.

We reported a couple of months ago that Goretzka had garnered interest from a clutch of Europe's top clubs including Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid.

Though United appear to have dropped out of the race for him, Arsenal are still locked in a battle for his signature.

German paper Bild claims Goretzka could fetch around £3m.

He would certainly fit into the Arsene Wenger philosophy of buying young players with vast potential.

Goretzka's manager, Walter Schneck, believes he has a bright future ahead go him.

He said: "I have never seen a 18-year-old who has so much class and desire.

"The boy will find his way into the world's best!"

This one looks like Wenger type of signing- realistic, unknown, inexperienced and cheap.

TRA says we want him so it must be true! He's also been likened to ballack, not sure if that is a good thing!!!

Ballack link makes more sense than Gotze but why would that be a bad thing? Ballack was a great player.

decent santi replacement


prefer tielemans with his screamers but wouldn't be a bad signing, maybe a tad overhyped.

Haven't seen enough of him to comment on his ability, but with our current medical staff and his injury record he'd be on life support within a week -

Schalke is one of the rare sports club that have injury problems comparable to Arsenal.
