Arsenal are reported to be pushing strongly to sign Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt. Reports from Fussball Daten claim the North London club are leading the chase and are preparing a formal offer.

Mikel Arteta wants to add more strength and balance to his squad next season. While defence remains an area of focus, midfield depth is also high on the list.

Larsson has grown into one of Frankfurt’s most trusted players this season. The Swedish midfielder has featured 25 times in all competitions.

He joined the German side in the summer of 2023 from Malmo. The move, worth around £10 million, was a Swedish league record sale at the time.
