'That's how you do transfers' - These Arsenal fans jealous of the business Dortmund have done

Arsenal fans have all been saying the same thing on social media after Borussia Dortmund confirmed the signing of Julian Brandt.

Dortmund completed the £22million signing of Brandt from Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday afternoon, with the 23-year-old putting pen to paper on a five-year deal with the German giants.

The signing came just hours after Lucien Favre's side captured Thorgan Hazard from Borussia Monchengladbach for £30million.

Brandt had been linked with a host of European clubs, with Liverpool, at one point, looking his most likely destination in the Premier League.

But following confirmation of the news, Gunners fans were quick to turn to Twitter to ask their club to look at how BVB operate in the transfer market, with one fan even hoping those in charge at the German outfit could come and run the North London side.

Head coach Unai Emery will once again work under a strict budget, thought to be in the region of £45million this summer, following a January window in which they could only bring in loan players, with flop Denis Suarez coming in from Barcelona.

The Gunners have been linked with a number of players already in the close season, but have yet to sign anyone.
