Transfers

Arsenal could sign ‘dangerous’ midfielder likened to Declan Rice and Rodri for £51m

Arsenal are set for a busy summer on the transfer front as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his ranks further.

The Gunners have been in the Premier League ꦏtitle picture for three years in a row now, but it looks as though they’re not quite the finished product just yet.

In addition, Arsenal midfield duo Thomas Partey and Jorginho are out of contract in♕ the summer and could leave the Emirates Stadium.

With that in mindꩵ, the Gunꦬners could well look to bring in some more midfielders, along with a number of reinforcements up front.

Now, according to reports, a player who ha🀅s been compared to Rodri and is inspired by Declan Rice could be available for around £51million this summer.

Arsenal target Hugo Larsson handed £51m price tag

The player in question is Hugo Larsson, who has bee💮n going from strength to strength at Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

In January, it was reported that Arsenal made ‘several enquiries’ regarding the availabil🍸ity of Larssಞon, who joined Eintracht from Malmo in 2023.

It is not certain whether the 20😼-year-old will stay at Eintracht beyond the summer, even if the๊y were to qualify for the Champions League, according to .

However, Arsenal – or perhaps Liverpool or Chelsea – would reportedly have to pay ‘a lot of money’ for Larsson, with 🦄his price tag set at €60million (£51million).

What Hugo Larsson could bring to Arsenal

Larsson has made a name for himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most excꦯiting young pꦐlayers.

At just 20 years of age, h🔯e’s alꦗready made 70 competitive appearances for Eintracht, registering seven goals and three assists in the process.

Larsson has also won eight caps for Sweden and has two trophies to his name – the Swedish title and tཧhe Swedish cup.

Larsson’s style of play has been compared to that of M💟anchester City star Rodri, who is considered to be the beဣst holding midfielder in the world.

La♔rsson himself h🌠as previously said his style of play is similar to that of Arsenal star Declan Rice.

“He (Rice) is a similar type of player to me,” he told German media last year. “He aggressively and defensively does a lot of good things, I look up at h🅺im.”

Jacek Kulig has described the Sweden international as a ‘box-to-box midfielder with good playmaking sk🅷ills’.

He is ‘able to produce powerful and dangerous runs up field on the counter-attac✤k’, added Ku✃lig.
