Unfortunately for Arsenal fans, this Dortmund player is not Mario Goetze. Instead Arsene Wenger looks set to continue his policy of attracting young, talented but cheap players to the Emirates by landing Thomas Eisfeld from the German giants.
The deal isn’t complete yet and is subject to a rigorous medical because of Eisfeld’s past injury problems- he suffered a torn cruciate ligament in 2009 that greatly hampered his development at the Westfalenstadion.
Eisfeld is out of contract at Dortmund in the summer and if the Gunners do agree to sign him, they will have to pay a modest compensation fee to BVB, believed to be somewhere in the £400,000- £420,000 mark.
