Gedion Zelalem’s contract at Arsenal runs out this summer

- Gedion Zelalem has become a Borussia Dortmund target after failing to make any headway at Arsenal. The 19-year-old was born in Berlin before emigrating to the United States and he is reportedly keen to move back to Germany. His contract ends this summer and the fact that his father is a Dortmund fan may speed things along.

- Julian Brandt says he will reject a move to Bayern Munich if the Bundesliga giants come calling. The 20-year-old is happy at Bayer Leverkusen and claims he will reject other clubs to as he looks to extend his contract.

“I would not be scared to dismiss Bayern for a second time. The same goes for other clubs, too.” – Brandt

- Kieran Tierney has become a target for Bayern Munich and the Scottish player said he was flattered by the European giants’ interest. The 19-year-old from Celtic has been sidelined with an ankle injury but hopes to be back soon.

“It's flattering hearing clubs like Bayern and Chelsea mentioned. They are some of the best teams in the world but if you are a youngster playing first-team games every week for Celtic and doing well, you will get noticed by teams in Europe.” – Tierney
