Arsenal set to miss out on Wolfsburg-bound Luiz Gustavo
ARSENAL may be about to miss out on another transfer target this summer with reports indicating that Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo is set to join Wolfsburg.
German newspapers Die Welt and Bild claim that Luiz is on the verge of joining Wolfsburg for around £13million.
Such a move would come as a surprise, given that the Brazilian had talked up the prospect of joining Arsene Wenger's side.
However, Wolfsburg appear to have condemned Arsenal to miss out on another high-profile target in what is becoming a frustrating summer for Gunners fans.
Luiz wants to leave Bayern to enhance his chances of first-team football, as he bids to be a part of the Brazil team at the 2014 World Cup.
Arsenal have already missed out on Gonzalo Higuain who joined Napoli, while their attempts to sign Luis Suarez continue to be rebuffed by Liverpool.
