In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey revealed that Arsenal have identified Borussia Dortmund forward Maximilian Beier as a target. It has been stated that the Gunners are keeping tabs on the German attacker’s progress ahead of a potential move for him next year.
Beier has enjoyed a good run of form at the German club this season as he has put in a few eye-catching displays for them in the final third. The 23-year-old has banged in one goal and grabbed three assists in seven matches for Borussia Dortmund in this campaign so far across all competitions.

The German talent is currently one of the most talented forwards in the Bundesliga. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Gunners are eager to bring him on board next year.
His current contract at Signal Iduna Park will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for Arsenal to snap him up on a cut-price deal this January or at the end of this season.

Will Beier Be A Good Fit For Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta?
Beier is proficient at creating some space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has the vision to engineer a few promising chances for his teammates to score and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.
The German sensation can contribute by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team. Beier is primarily a centre-forward but can also serve as a winger on either flank if told to do so. However, it remains to be seen whether he can adapt to the physical style and high intensity of the Premier League if the Gunners manage to sign him in 2027.
Beier would improve the quality of Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta’s frontline in the long run. He has what it takes to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Emirates Stadium.

At 23, Beier has his best years ahead of him and would be a great fit for the North London club’s needs in the long term. Therefore, Arteta should focus on stepping up his efforts to sign him this January or next summer.
