Former Arsenal target Nathaniel Brown has revealed that he told his agent to disregard other options once Bayern Munich expressed an interest.
The Germany international joined Bayern from Eintracht Frankfurt during the summer. His latest comments explain how quickly he settled on that destination.
ReadArsenal covered Brown’s reported agreement with Bayern in June, following links with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Nathaniel Brown explains decision after Arsenal links
Speaking to Bayern’s club magazine, 51, in an interview carried by SPORT1, Brown said he had not expected the German champions to approach him.
Once they did, his response was immediate.
“I don’t want to listen to anything else,” Brown told his agent, according to the English translation published by FootballTransfers.
The 23-year-old explained that his Bavarian roots, the opportunity to remain in Germany and Bayern’s standing all influenced his choice.
His family and friends also support the club.
Bayern talks helped settle Brown’s future
Brown said discussions with Vincent Kompany and Bayern officials reinforced his decision.
That provides a personal explanation for the move, although his comments do not name Arsenal or confirm that the Gunners submitted a formal offer.
The distinction matters: Brown was explaining why Bayern became his clear preference, rather than revealing negotiations with a specific rival.
For Arsenal supporters who followed the summer links, the interview offers a straightforward answer about his priorities. Once Bayern entered the picture, Brown had little interest in exploring another destination.
