Tomas Rosicky 'considers abandoning Arsenal for Wolfsburg'

Arsenal could be dealt a further setback in their aim to rebuild their side, as Tomas Rosicky is reportedly thinking of jumping ship amid interest from Wolfsburg.

Jumping ship?: Rosicky has been linked in Germany with a move to Wolfsburg

The Czech international has been plagued with injuries since joining the Gunners from Borussia Dortmund in 2006, and Bild report he could set for a return to Germany after his agent was spotted in Wolfsburg.

Arsene Wenger would be loath to lose any more of his current squad, and it’s hard to envisage him sanctioning the departure of Rosicky, especially in the wake of the Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas sales.

It’s understood around the Emirates that the 30-year-old will play an important role for Arsenal this season, and although he won’t be an automatic starter, Wenger is relying on his experience to aid the development of Aaron Ramsey.

Rosicky came on as a substitute during the Gunners 2-1 win in Udinese on Wednesday night, and is expected to take a central role against Manchester United this weekend in the absence of Jack Wilshere, Abou Diaby, Alex Song and Emmanuel Frimpong.
