Arsenal are showing a keen interest in Borussia Dortmund's forward Maximilian Bayer. The club's scouting team has been closely monitoring the development of the 23-year-old player for the past year.
The Gunners have been particularly impressed by Bayer's versatility. The German international can effectively operate as a central striker, cover both flanks, and play in a withdrawn forward role behind the main striker.
In fact, those at Arsenal have drawn comparisons between Bayer's playing style and that of Kai Havertz. Moreover, the club has the added advantage of watching Bayer in action every week, thanks to Ethan Nwaneri, a young player on loan at Dortmund this season, providing a direct link between the two clubs.
However, Arsenal are not alone in their pursuit of the forward. Premier League rivals Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on Bayer, having considered the German as a potential target during the last summer transfer window.
