Arsenal join race for Kiessling

The 25-year-old forward has already been linked with clubs such as Milan, Juventus and Bayern Munich.

“Stefan is becoming a big player and things are working for him at the moment,” Kiessling’s agent, Ali Bulut, told The Sun. “He is a very similar player to Rudi Voeller with a bit of Oliver Bierhoff.

“Big clubs have kept looking at him since his days at Nuremberg. Six or seven big clubs have been in contact, including England and Spain’s top clubs, plus Bayern Munich.

“For four years Arsenal tried to loan Kiessling from Nuremberg, but it wasn’t possible. In the future it might be possible. I think it is likely he will spend another year in Germany, but he wants to move to a big club, and after that I don’t know.”
