Arsenal have taken a big step towards signing Hugo Larsson in the summer transfer window, with a report revealing that the north London club are already in talks for the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder but there are five other top teams who are keen on the youngster.
While it is clear that Arsenal need to sign a top striker in the summer, there is also a case to be made about the Gunners needing to freshen up their midfield. Jorginho is out of contract at the north London club at the end of the season and could leave for Flamengo. Thomas Partey could also part ways when his current deal runs out in the summer of 2025.
Arsenal are keen on signing a new central midfielder to support Declan Rice and Mikel Merino, and it has now emerged that the Gunners are in talks over a deal for Larsson.
Arsenal in Larsson is very advanced, with the Premier League giants in direct talks with the midfielder’s agents.
The Gunners have told Larsson’s representatives that they are ready to make a big bid for the Sweden international midfielder in the summer transfer window.
While it is not clear how keen the 20-year-old would be to push for a move away from Eintracht Frankfurt, the German club themselves are ready to cash in on the highly-rated central midfielder.
Arsenal, though, will face a massive problem in getting a deal done for Larsson, who has scored four goals and given one assist in 29 matches in all competitions for Eintracht this season.
