Bayern Munich star Kimmich is out of contract in the summer and the Bundesliga giants have pulled the plug on new deal talks.
But Kimmich is now free to speak to foreign clubs, with several Prem sides and Barcelona keen to snap up the German World Cup winner.
Kimmich could also replace England full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold who has been linked with a free move to Real Madrid.
But Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is an admirer of Kimmich, who can also play as an inverted full-back.
ARSENAL and Liverpool are set for a tug-of-war transfer battle over Joshua Kimmich.
