Bayern Munich have hinted they have put Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini top of their summer shopping list.

The Gunners are desperate to retain the French ace, but, as yet, the 24-year-old has not penned a contract extension.

With Bayern able to land Flamini for free for the start of next season, managing director Uli Hoeness is tempted by the prospect of keeping the club's cheque book away from Arsenal.

Hoeness has confirmed the Bundesliga giants are keen to bolster their midfield, but fell short in naming who the club's summer target is.

"I want to sign another star player for our midfield," said Hoeness.

"We are already in the process of recruiting a high-calibre individual.

"We don't always need to spend millions."
