Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt during the January transfer window.

Arsenal have reportedly identified Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt as a potential January transfer target.

The Gunners have struggled for goals this season, finding the back of the net just 15 times in 15 games - three of which came against Chelsea on Saturday.

That was the first time Arsenal had scored more than once in a Premier League game since October 4, leading the club's board to look at bringing in a creative midfielder during the January window.

Mesut Ozil remains exiled from the first-team squad under Mikel Arteta, while Arsenal have also been heavily linked with a move for Lyon's Houssem Aouar.

However, The Athletic reports that Brandt has now emerged as a possible target, despite only starting six Bundesliga games this season.

The 24-year-old only joined Dortmund for around £23m in 2019 but has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot this season, contributing one goal and one assist in 22 games across all competitions.

Arsenal currently sit 14th in the Premier League table, having lost eight of their 15 games so far this season.
