Highly-rated young midfielder Xaver Schlager has admitted he dreams of playing for Arsenal - less than a month after completing a €15m move to Wolfsburg.
Schlager, 21, has been snapped up by the Bundesliga club from RB Salzburg, where he established himself as a top young prospect.
But he insists the move is not his end goal - as he revealed his dream is to one day play for boyhood club Arsenal.
The 11-cap Austria international has penned a deal until 2023 with Wolfsburg but clearly has one eye on impressing to seal a move to north London to test himself in the Premier League.
"As a boy in Austria, you already start dreaming of making it abroad at the age of seven. The league just isn't that attractive," Schlager told Kicker.
"I haven't reached my final goal yet, now the next goal is coming.
"I've been a fan of Arsenal since I was a child.
"That's my dream club, and it's my dream to get to play there."
Schlager could also meet Arsenal in the Europa League, a competition he reached the semi-finals of with Salzburg in 2018.
After finishing sixth in the German top flight last season, Wolfsburg will enter the competition in the group stages, as will Arsenal after their defeat in last year's final saw them miss out on a Champions League return.
