Following his debut for Germany last week, Nathaniel Brown is reportedly drawing interest from a number of top clubs, including Arsenal.
German outlet BILD report that Arsenal are among the suitors for Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown, joining Real Madrid and Manchester City on a growing list of clubs pursuing the defender.
With Brown making his debut for the German national team last week, that interest is only likely to intensify. But it may not be a simple task to bring the 22-year-old to north London.
BILD report that Brown already received interest from AC Milan last summer, as well as the Premier League. In both cases, he turned approaches down in favour of continuing to develop in Frankfurt.
BILD add that Brown’s focus remains on Eintracht Frankfurt and the German national team, and a departure won’t be possible until next summer at the earliest.
Given how far we are from the summer window, the player isn’t even considering his future at this stage.
With a contract lasting until 2030 and no release clause, the player’s club are under no obligation to allow him to leave imminently anyway.
But perhaps that might suit Arsenal, with the Gunners not desperately in need of a left-back right now. Riccardo Calafiori and Myles Lewis-Skelly are already competing for starts, with Piero Hincapie also an option once he’s fit again.
If Arsenal really are interested in Brown, they’re probably willing to bide their time before making a move.
