Arsenal Dealt Blow In Pursuit Of £25m Star

By on August 12, 2014

Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels after Jurgen Klopp declared the defender wont be sold this summer.

Arsene Wenger is in the market for an experienced replacement for Thomas Vermaelen following his move to Barcelona and recent reports have suggested the boss has targeted Hummels.

The German international has also attracted interest from Manchester United and it was believed Dortmund would cash in if a bid of £25m was put on the table.

However, Jurgen Klopp has dismissed suggestions his skipper will be on the move this summer, telling reporters the 25-year-old is going nowhere.

“He is going nowhere,” said Klopp. “He is staying with us.”

Hummels is one of the best defenders in the world at present and would obviously have been a sensational purchase had we been able to pull it off.

But understandably Dortmund are determined to hang on to him so it looks like Arsene will have to look elsewhere in his search for another centre-back.
