Exclusive: Arsenal transfer target just one of many Bayer Leverkusen stars being tracked – expert

Bayer Leverkusen currently face interest in their exciting young manager Xabi Alonso, but it might also be a very challenging few months ahead in terms of keeping the rest of this current team together.

Jeremie Frimpong is one of the most exciting players in this squad, and he’s been linked with Arsenal by Fabrizio Romano, who says almost all of the other key players in the team are also being tracked by top clubs.

Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest column for the Daily Briefing, Romano stated that Frimpong and others like Florian Wirtz, Jonathan Tah, Alejandro Grimaldo, Victor Boniface and others are also likely to be wanted players this summer.

Frimpong certainly seems like one of the stand-out names there and it’s easy to imagine he could add a great deal to this Arsenal side with the attacking threat he poses in that right wing-back role.

Discussing the situation at Leverkusen, Romano said: “It could be an interesting summer at Leverkusen as they may face losing their manager but also some of their star players.

“As you’d expect after their fantastic performances, all of their best players are being monitored by other clubs – Frimpong, Wirtz, Boniface, Hincapie, Grimaldo, Tapsoba, Tah and more. They’re having an incredible season and top clubs send their scouts to follow their players.

“But honestly, nothing will change now or in March or April – Bayer won’t even open talks. This is stuff to watch out for in the summer.”
