Arsenal target Frankfurt’s rising star Hugo Larsson

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt’s young midfielder Hugo Larsson, according to Football Transfers .

The 20-year-old Swedish international made a £7.5 million (€9 million) move from Malmö to Frankfurt in 2023, setting a record as the highest transfer fee received by a Swedish club.

Frankfurt have built a strong reputation for developing young talent and helping players reach new heights, and Larsson is no exception.

He has exceeded expectations in his debut Bundesliga season and was already linked with Premier League clubs last summer.

Even before his move to Germany, Larsson was regarded as one of Sweden’s most exciting prospects.

He even had a trial stint with Chelsea but chose to continue his development in his homeland before making the switch to Frankfurt.

Arsenal Preparing for a Busy Summer Window

Various reports suggest Arsenal are gearing up for a busy summer transfer window as they look to strengthen their squad.

Mikel Arteta’s side is determined to finally get over the line and secure major trophies.

The Gunners are expected to reinforce both their attack and midfield, with Larsson now emerging as a potential target.

Arsenal Eyeing Hugo Larsson Move

Hugo Larsson, widely praised for his box-to-box abilities, is reportedly on Arteta’s radar.

The report claims Arsenal have already made several inquiries regarding his availability.

Previously, it was suggested that Frankfurt would only consider selling Larsson for a fee of around £66million, though this figure remains unconfirmed.

While the young Swede is undoubtedly talented, such a high price tag seems excessive.

What will interest Arsenal fans is that the club has reportedly shown a willingness to pay a significant sum for Larsson during exploratory talks held with his representatives.

Arsenal have also been linked with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, but the report clarifies that their interest in Larsson is not tied to the potential pursuit of the Spanish midfielder.

The Gunners are in search of a high-quality young midfielder and have also explored the possibility of signing Rosenborg’s Norwegian starlet Sverre Nypan.

With Arsenal actively scouting Europe’s top young talents, Hugo Larsson could be another exciting addition as Arteta looks to build a squad capable of competing for major silverware.
