Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus offers transfer advice to Arsenal target Joshua Kimmich as speculation continues

Joshua Kimmich has emerged as a top target for Arsenal as his contract negotiations with Bayern Munich continue to stall, with further talks having taken place over the weekend

Arsenal are in talks over a sensational free signing of Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich, according to reports in Germany.

There has been criticism in Germany over Kimmich's perceived dallying, but renewing is not a decision to be taken lightly by player or club

It’s yet another turn in this contract extension saga – some might say this has had more back and forths than Wimbledon – and you could be right. Kimmich has been debating for months whether to sign a new contract with Bayern or try a new adventure elsewhere.

The wait for an end to the Kimmich contract saga will have to continue beyond the first leg against Leverkusen.

Joshua Kimmich is set to become one of the most eligible free agents at the end of the season when his contract with Bayern Munich expires.
