Arsenal 'line up cut-price £17.5m swoop for Borussia Dortmund's Julian Brandt... with Gunners eyeing Germany star as a Martin Odegaard replacement' if he returns to Real Madrid

Arsenal are looking at alternatives to Martin Odegaard and are plotting a cheap move for Borussia Dortmund star Julian Brandt, according to reports.

The Gunners are eager to extend Odegaard's stay when his loan deal from Real Madrid expires at the end of the season, but if the Spanish giants call him back then Brandt could make the move to the Emirates.

According to German publication BILD, Arsenal are 'digging hard' for Brandt and Dortmund would want only £17.5million for his services - which would be a £4m loss on what the Bundesliga side paid Bayer Leverkusen in 2019.
