Arsenal And Liverpool To Lock Horns Over German Midfielder
Reports suggest that Arsenal and Liverpool will face off in a transfer battle to sign Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Sebastian Rode in January.
According to the Daily Star, the 23-year-old is rated at £18million and is highly rated among some of Europe’s top clubs.
German and European champions Bayern Munich had been interested in signing the midfielder but dropped out of the running leaving the door open to the Premier League’s top two clubs to move in.
The article says Rode is part of Arsene Wenger’s hunt for a young midfielder alongside Hellas Verona midfielder Jorginho who has also generated great interest ahead of the January transfer window.
Rode has been a mainstay of the Frankfurt team since 2011 having helped them in promotion back to the Bundesliga and finish a solid sixth last season.
He is not known for his goalscoring prowess having scored just once since the 2011/12 season.
