Kramer is owned by Bayer Leverkusen, but is currently finishing up a two-year loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach. He has yet to make an appearance for Leverkusen.

The 23-year-old can play in defense or in a holding midfield role similar to Sami Khedira, another German international that Arsenal have had their eyes on for some time now.

While one report tabs a German possibly moving to the Emirates, another report pens one out.
