As This Is Futbol informed you on Saturday, via reports from The Daily Mail, Borussia Dortmund star Ilkay Gundogan expects to join Manchester United this summer in a £15million deal.

The German international was one of the stars of the Black-Yellows’ 2012/13 campaign, which saw them launch a surprise march to the Champions League final – only to be beaten by Bundesliga title rivals Bayern Munich.

But he’s set to leave Westfalen this summer unless Dortmund can climb six places up the Bundesliga table during their eight remaining league fixtures to claim a Champions League spot, with his contract now on the verge of entering it’s final twelve months.

The Mail claim the 24 year-old expects to be at Old Trafford next term, but The Metro now report a planned bid from Premier League rivals Arsenal.

They claim the Gunners tried and failed to lure Gundogan away in January via an £18.4million offer and will revive their interest when the transfer market reopens.

They also moot Barcelona as fellow potential suitors.
