Arsenal could make a surprise move to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Julian Brandt when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has been a key player for the Bundesliga outfit, but he is expected to leave on a free transfer when his deal expires on June 30.

Barcelona have been linked with the German in recent weeks and Sky Germany claim that Arsenal have entered the pursuit of the player.

The Gunners held an interest in signing Brandt when Edu Gaspar was the sporting director, but they have not followed up in recent windows.

Still, the prospect of landing him on a free transfer could be tempting, but the final decision will be left to manager Mikel Arteta this summer.

Brandt has been in decent form this campaign for Dortmund. He has bagged 10 goals and three assists from the number 10 position.

He has his sights on a move abroad despite domestic interest.
