Arsenal have been told Bayern Munich and Poland superstar Robert Lewandowski is available to sign this summer.

90Min claim Arsenal are among the Premier League clubs who have been informed about Lewandowski’s contract situation.

Recently, Bayern Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidžić has been speaking to Sky Sports, amid talk of Lewandowski moving to the Premier League.

The 45-year-old said: “Yes, Lewandowski informed me that he didn’t want to accept our offer and he would like to leave the club.”

Arsenal told Lewandowski is available

The report reads: “Robert Lewandowski’s representatives have offered the Bayern Munich striker to a number of Premier League sides as they continue to explore possible exit routes from the Bundesliga champions.

“The 33-year-old has one year left on his current deal and has informed Bayern that he has no desire to extend and wants to move elsewhere, with Barcelona his preferred destination.

“Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have all been advised about Lewandowski’s situation.

“But as it stands, none have taken the matter any further, with all four sides still building their plans for the summer transfer window.“

Lewandowski, who has 86 Champions League goals to his name, has been linked with Arsenal before, when he was still at Borussia Dortmund and Arsene Wenger was Gunners boss.

Goal reported in December 2013 that Wenger was prepared to spend £30 million to get Lewandowski to north London.

He of course went to Bayern and turned into the sensational finisher we know today.

Arsenal would be getting him at the end of his career, and would they break their wage structure for him? They do need a striker, but it seems the Poland legend has his eye on the Nou Camp.
