Borussia Dortmund defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos has one year left on his contract and he has been repeatedly linked with a move to Arsenal.
Bild earlier reported the Bundesliga outfit are looking to strengthen their defence and planning to bring in a new player in the central defending position. For this to happen, they would allow the 29-year-old leave the club this summer, and it was claimed he was on the verge of moving to Arsenal.
Germany’s Waz had thrown a curveball into the pursuit last week, claiming Manchester United interest, but they’ve said nothing since and Jose Mourinho’s men aren’t being picked up in the other German reports.
