Bayern midfielder keen on joining Arsenal or Liverpool

Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich is reportedly open to joining Arsenal or Liverpool in the current transfer window.

The Germany international has been a vital player for Bayern, but his future is uncertain with his contract expiring next summer.

The midfielder has not been offered a new deal thus far, and Bayern are now prepared to sanction his sale in the coming weeks.

Kimmich is on the radar of several elite clubs, but he has the desire to join only five teams which includes Arsenal and Liverpool.

Arsenal have made terrific progress under Mikel Arteta and they finished just two points behind league winners Manchester City last term.

Liverpool were unable to keep up with the duo in the title race, but the fans expect an improved campaign under new boss Arne Slot.

Both clubs would be interested in signing a world-class player in Kimmich, but his £317,000-a-week wages could be a stumbling block.

Kimmich may have to accept a pay-cut to join one of them.
