Reports suggest that Arsenal have spoken to the representatives of Dortmund, and have submitted a £3.7 million pound bid for the utility man, who can play in numerous positions, such as right wing, left wing, central midfield and right back.

The German international has been highlighted similarly to James Milner of Manchester City as comparisons have been made about their versatility to play across all positions.

Grosskreutz only has 18 months left on his current deal at the Bundesliga giants and is reported to be a boyhood Arsenal supporter.

Arsene Wenger is also reportedly targeting a cut price deal for Valencia right-back Joao Pereira, according to reports in the Italian media.

The 30-year-old Portugal international is yet to play for the La Liga side this season and could be shipped out before the transfer window closes.

Earlier this season, Valencia’s sporting director, Francisco Rufete, said Pereira has no future at the club.

Arsenal have already dipped into the market considerably thus far, and it would be no surprise to anyone if Arsene Wenger decided to move in on one more.
