Arsenal are reportedly one of several clubs looking into Alphonso Davies’ situation at Bayern Munich at the moment, along with other Premier League sides.
It remains unclear where Davies will play his football next season as he nears the end of his contract at the Allianz Arena, but it appears the Gunners could be a name to watch out for.
The Canada international would no doubt be a tempting option for many big clubs if he becomes a free agent, with Liverpool seems to be his most likely destination if he has to move to the Premier League, according to The Athletic.

However, their report also mentions Arsenal, as well as others such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta already has plenty of options at left-back, and it’s fair to say that signing Davies would represent a pretty significant tactical change for the Spanish tactician.
How would Alphonso Davies fit in at Arsenal?
Davies is very much a traditional full-back as he has great pace and energy running up and down the left flank, and can get forward to score and assist in a way that would likely make him an ideal fit in a wing system. – back
Arsenal, however, have opted for a very different approach with Arteta, who has mostly preferred Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riccardo Calafiori to come in and play as a sort of inverted full-back.
Davies doesn’t appear to have those characteristics, so it may be hard to imagine the AFC will actually make him a priority.
There are other clubs who probably need Davies more and would probably get more out of him than the Gunners, even if he is a big name and top talent available in a potential deal.
