A report citing a German media outlet says Arsenal and Real Madrid are following young French defender Joane Gadou of Borussia Dortmund after monitoring his performances. It is unclear whether either club will make an offer soon.

Gadou joined Dortmund in the summer from RB Salzburg and has featured regularly this season under Nico Kovac. His appearances have drawn the attention of club scouts, who watched him in the team's matches against Real Betis and Bayern Munich.

Dortmund do not intend to let the player go after just six months at the club, and he is under contract until 2031. The report says the club could ask for between 40 and 50 million euros if it decides to sell him, while Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Betis are also interested.
