The Netherlands international has been in fantastic form for the Bundesliga club since joining from AC Milan in 2010, after failing to make an impact in Serie A.

Huntelaar has been a revelation since, scoring 42 goals in 70 appearances for the Royal Blues.

The 29-year-old striker currently has six months left on his contract at the Veltins-Arena, and Heldt has revealed he will be available to any club willing to pay for his services.

This has resulted in interest from several Premier League teams, one of them believed to be the Gunners.

However, Heldt doesn't think the north Londoners can afford the Dutchman.

"There have been no offers or any sign of Klaas-Jan leaving," he told The Sun.

"If someone comes to us six months before the expiry date, and has a lot of money, we will deal with it. From Arsenal circles we hear there is no money anyway."
