Arsenal showing great interest in Liverpool transfer target after breakthrough season | OneFootball

Arsenal are reportedly among the clubs showing a great interest in the potential transfer of Porto midfielder Victor Froholdt.

The talented 20-year-old has enjoyed something of a breakthrough season this term, contributing eight goals and seven assists.

Froholdt was previously on the books at Copenhagen, but he’s stepped up well since moving to a bigger club in a more competitive league.

According to Bold.dk, Arsenal are now up against the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle United for his signature this summer.

This follows our exclusive information earlier this season on Arsenal and Tottenham eyeing Froholdt, who looks like he’ll be a tricky player for Porto to hold onto for much longer.

Victor Froholdt set for Arsenal transfer?

It remains to be seen if Arsenal are making serious progress on this potential transfer, or if it’s still something at a relatively early stage.

Still, the Gunners will likely be looking for a player of this profile this summer – a young midfielder who can give Mikel Arteta more depth behind Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi.

Christian Norgaard has struggled to impress since moving to the Emirates Stadium, so there’s surely room for someone like Froholdt to come in and initially be a squad player, but perhaps then later grow into a starter once he has more experience under his belt.

Liverpool might also be able to lure Froholdt as they are another club who could do well to make some changes in the middle of the park.

Still, it’s been a pretty dire season for the Reds, so it might be that the Gunners’ project looks more tempting at the moment.

Arsenal are top of the Premier League table and in the final of the Champions League, while Liverpool have dropped to fourth in the table and are set to finish trophyless.
