Arsenal youngster Gedion Zelalem is a target for Borussia Dortmund.
The German giants will try to land the gifted 19-year-old, who was born in Berlin to Ethiopian parents, this month.
Zelalem, who has represented both Germany and the United States at youth level, was tipped for great things when he was on the fringes of the Gunners’ first team aged 16 – but he is now frustrated at a lack of opportunities.
He spent last season on loan in the Scottish second tier with Rangers.
