Sochi: Germany’s rising star Leon Goretzka on Saturday brushed off reports that Arsenal are set to swoop for the midfielder who has impressed at the Confederations Cup. With Germany’s World Cup-winning stars all rested for the Confed Cup, the 22-year-old is one of those who has seized his chance to shine in Russia. With Juventus, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur also said to be interested, reports from the UK claim Arsenal are preparing a 21 million pounds ($26.8m) bid for him. “I do not really want to say anything about the transfer rumours, I’m focusing on the Confed Cup,” he said in Sochi. “I’m not going to give state-of-play updates, but if there are facts, I will announce them.”
