Daily Star has reported that Manchester United and Arsenal target Mats Hummels is likely to leave the Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is keeping close tabs on the player since last summer. While on the other hand Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is also said to be a big admirer of the German star.
However, Wenger has already bought a defender Gabriel Paulista in the winter window but are still eyeing another centre-back who could replace Per Mertesacker.
Both the Premier League outfits are eyeing a central defender for a summer move and are likely to fight for Mats Hummels who will prefer a move to United over Arsenal as per the reports.
Dortmund have been struggling this season in the league, their recent form has just taken them out of the relegation zone. They are currently on 10th spot in the league table.
Dortmund have no plans to sell their star defender but if the right offer comes then they will have to sell him as the player has also expressed his desire to leave Germany. The Bundesliga outfit are hoping a £36million deal for their centre-half.
The 26-year-old has started only 16 Bundesliga games due to injury so far this term.
