Gunners to launch £63m double swoop for Dortmund duo

Arsene Wenger is set to launch a double transfer raid on Borussia Dortmund with a move for Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundogan in a deal worth £63m.

Wenger has been a long-time admirer of Hummels but will follow up that interest by tieing up a move for midfielder Gundogan at the same time, believes the Daily Star.

Hummels has refused to commit his future to the club and revealed he has received offers from various clubs during his time with Dortmund.

have always decided not to leave. I think I have made some good decisions and I want to make those in the future as well.

“I have never said I will stay until 2024 or 2030 or whenever. But I have stayed until today. I will stick to my way of not promising anything and maybe leave someday instead of saying I will stay forever and then leave all of a sudden.

“I am not really known as a globetrotter. I have been with two clubs in 26 years. Loyalty is important to me."

Where does Mats Hummels rank in our list of the top January transfer targets?

Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham have joined them in the race to sign West Ham defender Winston Reid.

According to the Mail, Spurs are willing to meet Reid's wage demands of £60k a week, but are not thought to be ready to make a bid for the 26-year-old this month.

Reid is out of contract in the summer but Arsenal have been strongly linked to make a move for the player during the transfer window.
