Dortmund would be willing to let Brandt leave on loan should a lucrative offer be made in the January transfer window by the Gunners' chiefs.

Brandt made over 55 combined appearances for Germany's youth teams playing at every level from U15 to U21.

He was a member of the squad that won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2014.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are currently occupying 11th position on the Premier League table with 23 points after 17 games played so far.

Mikel Arteta and his wards will be facing Newcastle United in their next game which will be in the third round of the English FA Cup on Saturday, January 9.
