Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with Denis Zakaria’s agent, and the news has gone down extremely well with plenty of Gunners supporters.
Liverpool and Manchester United have also spoken with the 22-year-old’s representatives, with the towering midfielder likely to leave Borussia Monchengladbach next summer if any side places a bid in the region of €50 million.
Tottenham, along with several other sides across Europe, have also been credited with an interest in the Swiss star following an impressive stint in Germany.

Read Arsenal verdict
It’s easy to understand why these Gunners supporters are buzzing over the news.
Zakaria’s powerful physique is made for the Premier League. He’s been likened to Patrick Vieira, a figure Arsenal have missed in midfield for some time.
The youngster is also technically sound, and at a possible fee of just €50 million, it could turn out to be a steal.
The Gunners will more than likely have to qualify for the Champions League in order to have any chance of signing the towering midfielder, so the next seven months appear crucial in regards to Arsenal’s chances of keeping hold of their star men and looking to add more quality next summer.
