Overview

• Multiple outlets say Arsenal are now in a strong position to land the 24-year-old Stuttgart midfielder in the winter window.
• TEAMtalk reports Liverpool have joined Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham in tracking Stiller, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern also monitoring.
• Stuttgart are widely reported to want around £52m for a January sale, while a release clause of about £35m is said to activate next year.
• Coverage indicates Manchester United made a last-minute bid before the summer deadline that fell through over valuation differences.
• Arsenal’s recent additions in midfield, including Martin Zubimendi and Christian Nørgaard, raise questions over immediate need even as Stiller’s profile is seen as a good fit.
