Arsenal’s ambitions of completing the signing of Borussia Dortmund’s Matthias Ginter have taken a blow after Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg voiced their interest, per TransferMarketWeb (h/t Jamie Anderson of the Daily Star).

The 22-year-old versatile defender is reportedly a £10 million transfer target for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, according to Daniel Cutts of the Sun.

However, despite tracking the youngster for several months, Arsenal now face fresh competition from another German club, hoping to snatch the centre-back away from Westfalenstadion.

Per WhoScored.com, Ginter featured in 24 league matches for Thomas Tuchel’s side last term, netting on three occasions and providing four assists to team-mates—a healthy return from a defensive-minded figure with relatively limited exposure to the first-team.

Per Anderson, Ginter has not joined Dortmund for their pre-season tour of China, resulting in speculation of a move away from the club. 

Despite this absence, the player remains excited at the prospect of representing his country at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next month, per his official account:

Thankful and proud to be in the olympic team of germany
