According to the 'Mirror', Arsenal are considering signing Julian Brandt from Borussia Dortmund to replace the injured Thomas Partey, who could leave the Emirates Stadium after his constant injuries.

Thomas Partey is suffering from a thigh injury and is focused on recovering as soon as possible. However, his recovery time is uncertain and he could be sidelined for longer than coach Mikel Arteta would like.

Doubts about his availability are growing at the Emirates Stadium. The Ghanaian midfielder has been out of action since the end of October. As a result, the Gunners are keen to strengthen their midfield in the January transfer window.

According to the 'Mirror', both the board and coach Mikel Arteta want to sign Julian Brandt from Borussia Dortmund to take his place. The 27-year-old has become one of the German side's key players and has already "flirted" with the Premier League after spending his entire career in Germany.

The German midfielder said in an interview that he regretted not joining Liverpool when he had the chance: "I had that chance to take that next step to join Liverpool, but the time wasn't right for me. It's a shame because I would have loved to play for Klopp."
