Arsenal ‘join race’ for Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski after big update
Arsenal have been given a huge boost in their reported pursuit of Robert Lewandowski after the Bayern Munich forward admitted he was "open to everything".
The Gunners have reportedly joined the race for the Polish hitman, whose contract at the Allianz Arena expires at the end of next season.
According to Four Four Two, the north Londoners are one of a number of clubs who may pursue a move for the star this summer following an impasse in contract negotiations.
On Sunday, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano tweeted that although the forward wanted to stay at Bayern, his future is "absolutely open."
He added that at the current time "there are still no talks between Bayern and his agent".
Lewandowski himself added more fuel to the fire following an interview with Sky Sport Deutschland.
He said: "I am open to everything. I'm quiet.
"It is important for me to be able to focus on my game, always on what can happen in the last match.
"Everything that remains to be done regarding contracts is a secondary issue and remains in the background."
That will be music to the ears of Arsenal, who are in desperate need of a new centre-forward this summer.

Mikel Arteta has just two strikers to choose from following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona in January.
His remaining options – Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette – are themselves both out of contract in the summer.
It is unclear whether Lewandowski would favour a move to the Emirates.
Bayern's chairman, Herbert Hainer, believes that Lewandowski will eventually agree to a new deal and see out the remainder of his career at the Allianz Arena alongside club legends Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer.
Hainer said: "I would love for all three of them to finish their careers at FC Bayern and I also firmly assume they will."
