World class Bayern star's Arsenal dream; Dutch attacker signing imminent

Bayern Munich star David Alaba dreamt of playing for Arsenal during his younger days.

Alaba is arguably the best left back in Europe right now and during his time with Austria Wien the 23-year-old wanted to play for Arsenal with his idol Patrick Vieira.

Times have changed now and a player of Alaba’s stature will not be easy to sign for Arsenal. He has a contract until 2021 with the German champions and is unlikely to force a move away because of his love for the London club.

Journalist Andreas Heidenreich, from Wien, spoke about Alaba with France Football and shared the story about his eventual move to Bayern Munich.
