Lukasz Piszczek (Dortmund)Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to make a move for Borussia Dortmund full-back Lukasz Piszczek, according to reports from the Daily Mail.
The Gunners chief is believed to be searching for a replacement for current first choice right-sided defender Bacary Sagna, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
There have been rumours that the Frenchman’s improved form may earn him a new deal at the Emirates Stadium, but the player himself has been attracting much attention from clubs in his homeland.
Wenger is believed to have earmarked Piszczek as a potential replacement for Sagna, and is preparing a 2014 move for his signature.
The Polish international has been a key member of Dortmund’s squad for some time, and was impressive during EURO 2012.
At 28, he could be ready to seek a new challenge, but Dortmund are believed to be far from keen to sell due to his contract being set to run until 2017.
Wenger is also keen on Piszczek’s team-mate Ilkay Gundogan.
The German international midfielder has developed into one of the most promising deep-lying playmakers in Europe, alerting the Arsenal chief.
Wenger is hopeful that he can thrash out a deal to bring the 22-year-old to North London to join international colleague Mesut Ozil.
Arsenal fans, should Bacary Sagna be offered a new deal? Or would Lukasz Piszczek be a better option?

Reported Arsenal injury news, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson all captured in the update Arsena l midfielder Thomas Partey picked up an injury to his right thigh in training on Friday and did not feature in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend. The club have described the problem as tightness in the muscle, rather than a pull or a tear, which indicates the Ghanaian international won’t be out of contention for too long. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the game on Saturday and it’s unlikely that he’ll be spending much time on the treatment table either. The Ukrainian international has a minor sprain in his left knee and he was left out for the Fulham match as a precaution. It would suggest that the defender will be available to face Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, while Partey may need a bit longer to recover. Fans will, though, be hoping he is back for the trip to play Manchester United next weekend. Reiss Nelson has not featured this campaign due to a muscular

Official: Runar Alex Runarsson signs for Arsenal

Arsenal have completed a deal to sign Runar Alex Runarsson from Dijon today, as confirmed by their official website. Runarsson joined Dijon from FC Nordsjaelland, and although he started as first choice, underwhelming performances saw him lose his place to Alfred Gomis. He played 45 games for the Ligue 1 side. His signing has been championed by goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon who worked with him in Denmark, and that relationship played a key part in Arsenal’s decision to bring him in. The goalkeeper will come in as replacement for Emiliano Martinez, who quit the club to join Aston Villa last week. Welcome to The Arsenal, Alex Runarsson 🔴 👋 @runaralex — Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 21, 2020 Football.London claims the goalkeeper has cost just £1 Million, which could well give us a much-needed boost to our finances as we look to strengthen our midfield, with strong links with both Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt this seas
