Arsenal positioning to sign three talents under 22, as first summer buys: report

Arsenal could well go into the summer as Premier League champions, and Mikel Arteta has big plans for the next transfer window, too.

After six years of building and challenging at the top, it seems Arsenal have finally found the formula for success.

With seven games to go, it's hard to see the Gunners losing out on the Premier League title now unless Manchester City pull off a miraculous turnaround.

Winning one title will not be enough to satiate the Arsenal faithful, though. Indeed, many will hope and expect that this can be the start of an era of dominance for Mikel Arteta and his players.

To do that, the Gunners will not only need to add ready-made talent to their ranks, but also recruit for the future, too.

To that end, Sport Witness have relayed a report from SportBILD outlining Arsenal's desire to sign three top young players from the Bundesliga.

Arsenal already have one of the strongest defences in the league, but they are now eyeing up a move for 22-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt ace Nathaniel Brown.

However, elite clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man City, and Liverpool are also keen on the €65m-rated left-back.

The Gunners could also snap up another Frankfurt starlet with interest in Jean‑Mattéo Bahoya brewing. The attacking midfielder has caught the eye this season with three goals and four assists.

FourFourTwo understands Frankfurt would demand around €40m for the 20-year-old, with a number of English sides joining Arsenal in the hunt.

Losing those two players would be damaging enough for Frankfurt, but there's also a belief that Arsenal could steal one of the German side's transfer targets, too.

Hertha Berlin ace Kennet Eichhorn is wanted by Frankfurt, but the Gunners may well lure him to the Premier League and add him to their collection of highly-rated youngsters. With Max Dowman, already making waves in North London, could Eichhorn give him a run for his money next season?

16-year-old Kennet Eichhorn is valued at €20m according to Transfermarkt. With FA Cup action back this weekend, Arsenal's next game is a quarter-final against Southampton this Saturday.
