Schalke 04 star midfielder Max Meyer has rejected a new contract with the german club thus handing Arsenal and Liverpool a huge boost.

Meyer has declared himself ready to end his nine-season stay with the Bundesliga giants by turning down their second offer of an improved £5m-a-year deal, according to reports by Sport Bild.

He will be a free agent in July, and will likely make the Premier League his next destination.

Schalke sporting director Christian Heidel while reacting to the situation of Meyer said: "All the talking has been done.

"It's now time to make a decision."

Versatile Meyer can operate in a variety of midfield positions, but he has excelled this season since coach Domenico Tedesco switched him to a more defensive role.

The Oberhausen-born Meyers has made 25 appearances, scoring once, to help Schalke go third in the Bundesliga.
