Reus Wants Arsenal Move To Work With Wenger

Arsenal have been boosted today by news Borussia Dortmund attacker Marco Reus wants to switch to Arsenal this summer to work with Arsène Wenger.

Struggling Dortmund are expected to see a number of their stars leave this summer with top name Reus heading the exodus. The versatile Germany star is not short on admirers and could be hoping there will be a bidding war for his signature in the summer when a £20m release-clause becomes active.

Arsenal face competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United for Reus' signature however, the Gunners have received a major boost with some tabloid newspapers claiming Reus will reject other advances in favour of working with Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger.

The lure of Arsenal's greatest manager has not waned over his long service and has been cited by the majority of Arsenal's signings as a primary reason for joining the Gunners - most recently and notably Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Özil and Gabriel.

Reus, heading into the peak years of his career, would be a huge boost to Arsenal's squad but throws the future of Theo Walcott into doubt with the England player yet to sign a new deal.

Paper reports suggest Theo is close to signing a new contract and that Wenger sees him as a vital part of Arsenal's future. With Cazorla in his 30s and Reus' boyhood idol Tomas Rosicky turning 35 later this year there could well be space in the squad for both players.

Playing under Wenger is a clear interest for many players and reportedly Reus too but one added bonus for the childhood Dortmund fan will be the opportunity to play with his footballing hero. And possibly taking over Czech international's squad number when he leaves Arsenal would be a nice touch. #Reus7
