According to German outlet, Bild, Arsenal are tracking Hoffenheim winger, Philipp Ochs.
The 19-year-old made just 13 appearances in the Bundesliga last season and only managed an assist. However, it’s said that his potential caught Arsene Wenger’s eye and we’re interested in bringing him to north London.

Now, before people freak out about this, if it is true – and I’d not put money on it considering Bild isn’t exactly the most reliable outlet in the world – Ochs will be an addition to our youth squad, not a replacement for Theo Walcott or a sign that Alexis Sanchez is on a private jet to Juventus. Just another youth signing. Let’s not blow this up out of proportion like we did with the signing of Asono, please.
If you do fancy checking out Philipp Ochs in action, here he is playing for the Germany u17s a couple of years ago.
