Florian Wirtz's performance this season has been nothing short of impressive, catching the attention of top clubs like Arsenal. Reports from Germany claim that the Gunners have shown a strong interest in signing the talented Bayer Leverkusen midfielder. Wirtz, who is only 21 years old, has already proven himself as one of the best players in the Bundesliga. He played a crucial role in Leverkusen's league and cup double success last season, solidifying his position as a rising star in the football world.
At the beginning of the summer, Wirtz was linked with several top clubs, but he chose to remain with Leverkusen for their return to the Champions League this season. However, it seems that his time with the German club may be coming to an end. According to Bild, Wirtz is expected to leave Leverkusen next summer, with both Real Madrid and Manchester City showing a strong interest in signing the German international. But now, Arsenal has emerged as a serious contender for his signature after Paris Saint-Germain withdrew from the race.
The German newspaper also reports that Arsenal is fully committed to securing Wirtz's transfer. Leverkusen is reportedly holding out for a hefty fee of €150 million, but clubs are hopeful that a deal can be reached closer to the €100 million mark. Speaking earlier this year, Leverkusen's general director, Fernando Carro, made it clear that the club is determined to keep hold of Wirtz, stating that he is "priceless" and not available for transfer.
Despite the high price tag, Wirtz's impressive start to the season speaks for itself. He has already scored six goals in five games for Leverkusen and was recently named Player of the Match for his outstanding performance, scoring twice in their 4-0 win over Feyenoord in the Champions League. It's no wonder that top clubs are vying for his signature.
As Arsenal continues to push for a deal to bring Wirtz to the Emirates, fans eagerly await any updates on the potential transfer. With his undeniable talent and potential, Wirtz could be a huge asset for the Gunners as they strive for success in the Premier League and beyond.
