However, the report goes onto state that Arsenal face competition from Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Milan, who are also interested.
Max Meyer has entered the final four months of his contract with Schalke and could end up leaving the club for free in the summer.

“Max will be deciding shortly if he wants to stay at Schalke past the summer,” Heidel said.
