19-year-old German midfielder Arne Maier plays for Hertha Berlin, but he has a few bigger names watching him.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal are considering making a move in the January transfer window for Maier, according to The Sun.
Similar rumours arose in September, but with January approaching and a decent few games in the Bundesliga under his belt since then, there is some renewed interest.
Arne Maier has been likened to German veteran Toni Kroos, and with a number of caps for Germany at youth level, he will be hoping to follow Kroos into the German national team when Joachim Low announces his next squad.
Hertha Berlin value Maier at £15million, but it is likely that Arsenal or Manchester United would have to pay a lot more than that to acquire his services next month.
Hertha Berlin are currently sixth in the Bundesliga with 23 points from 14 games, just four points behind Bayern Munich. However, Dortmund are running away with the league at the moment, with 36 points.
Maier doesn't have any goals or assists for his club so far this season, however he is solid in the midfield and may be valued highly by Arsenal and Manchester United, who are sitting fifth and sixth in the Premier League respectively.
Jose Mourinho has openly criticised a good chunk of his team this season, and it is known that he wants to bring fresh faces to Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have hit a decent run of form under Unai Emery but will still be looking to bolster their squad.

When I look over our squad, Arsenal needs no.8.5 ( If Ramsey leaves ) & winger, CB ( Mustafi & Chambers' replacement ). If he's not in this category, I doubt we will chase this guy...
man mustafi win!s game for you many times through corners, and a forward charging defender, plz see matches properly rather than hearing from someone and bluffing in comments, the problem is unai is more of an attacking coach, look at his previous club's record his team will concede more and will also score more....

i would say better go to arsenal a good replacement for ramsey, and a good ball player needed, do not come to united then u have to sit in reserves or in substitutes and jose will blame u of no reason without giving u chances, remember fred a marvellous player destroyed by jose

He's good, but that would be tood early for him. Maybe in two years. Just let him grow at hertha where he can play every match

Last season he started to get regular playing time in the first team of hertha. He can play both as defensive mid and a bit further forward on the pitch. He's pretty good on the ball, can play precise passes. But he's also not too bad physically and pretty tall. I think he's still just 19 years old too. Won the fritz-walter-medaille (award for best german youth players) in bronze (u17) and silver (u19) too. But a hertha fan could probably tell you a bit more about him. I've watched just two or three matches of him.

He already started every game of this season so far and dardai seems to trust his youth players a lot this season so i wouldn't be too worried about him.

Arsenal could do with a top player in every position. You're not going to replace guys like Bellerin, Mhki and Xhaka but you'd be better off if you did. Maier obviously isn't a top player yet, but I don't get the logic that you're only looking at those 3 positions.

complete bollocks of course. Don't need any strikers (Auba/Laca), don't need a DM (Torreira), don't need a left back (Monreal/kola), don't need a right back (Bellerin/Licht), and don't really need a goalkeeper (Leno/Cech)...
