According to Bild, Arsenal are interested in poaching chief scout Sebastian Kehl from Borussia Dortmund. According to Sky Sports, the two parties have already held preliminary talks in London. In addition to Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have also shown strong interest in Kehl.

Borussia Dortmund may face the risk of losing a key staff member. According to Sky Sports, English champions Arsenal are pursuing Borussia Dortmund's 43-year-old chief scout Sebastian Kehl, and the two parties are said to have already had initial contact in London. Arsenal are very keen to bring the scout, known as Borussia Dortmund's "diamond eye," to England. It is not surprising that Kehl has established a very high reputation in the industry due to his excellent work performance in recent years. Kehl was directly involved in several important transfers, including those of Haaland, Bellingham, Gittens, and Sancho. In addition, Kehl also played a key role in Borussia Dortmund's acquisition of highly anticipated new recruits such as Inacio, Albert, and Duarte. Currently, his contract with Borussia Dortmund runs until 2028.

In addition to Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, two other Premier League clubs, are also believed to be very interested in Kehl. This is not the first time a similar situation has occurred in Borussia Dortmund's history. Sven Mislintat, one of Kehl's predecessors, followed a similar path. In 2017, Mislintat joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund and served as the Gunners' chief scout until 2019.

According to Bild, Borussia Dortmund has not yet been officially informed of other clubs' interest in Kehl. Therefore, although English clubs are actively trying to sign Kehl, Borussia Dortmund's management currently remains relatively calm. If these Premier League clubs want Borussia Dortmund's management, led by sporting director Lars Ricken and technical director Ole Buck, to seriously consider letting him go, they will likely have to make an offer that is economically difficult to refuse. After all, Borussia Dortmund will not easily let go of their "diamond eye," as Kehl is crucial to the club's recruitment system.
