Player ‘on the list’ at Arsenal – Gunners appear to have massive advantage to sign him

Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson is ‘on the list’ at Arsenal ahead of the summer and they may have a massive advantage in any potential race.

BILD cover the player today and explain that the 19-year-old has been impressing in the Bundesliga since joining from Malmo FF in July last year.

He’s been a regular for the German side since, with 23 appearances in the Bundesliga this season and 69% of the available minutes played.

That’s seen his market value go through the roof and he’s now valued at around €30m, with the Bundesliga side certainly looking for a top price for a player they will certainly be hoping to make a top profit on.

They’re aware that there’s growing interest in the 19-year-old too, with Arsenal one of the sides who have him ‘on the list’.

They could have a massive advantage in any potential race too, with the youngster having revealed this week that current Arsenal star Declan Rice is one of his idols. That would, presumably, make a move to the Emirates and the chance to play alongside the midfielder very attractive.

Whether they make a move in the future remains to be seen, but he’s very much a player they’re looking at either way.

And for now, it seems he’s focused on life with the Bundesliga side, even if he does admit playing in the Premier League is a dream for him.

“Of course, I read when clubs are interested in me. But that was also the case in Malmö,” he said.

“I like to live in the here and now. And Eintracht is the perfect club for me to improve. In Sweden, everyone is traditionally focused on the Premier League.

“And I absolutely dream of playing there one day too. But at the moment I feel very comfortable in the Bundesliga.”
