Arsenal are likely to be in the market for a new midfielder this summer, with a host of names already linked with the club.
Thomas Partey and Danilo Pereira are the main names in the frame, but a new rumour emerged on Monday evening.
The Telegraph reported that Arsenal have considered making a move for Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, though a deal looks unlikely.
Hojbjerg wants a move to Tottenham, but Everton are the team who have come forward with the biggest offer so far.
The Dane is expected to join one of those two teams, despite Arsenal considering a move to bring him to the red side of North London.
Hojbjerg is out of contract in 2021, and is likely to be sold this summer after Southampton stripped him of the captaincy there due to his uncertain future.
Formerly of Bayern Munich, Hojbjerg would provide some grit to the Arsenal midfield, but fans don’t seem too keen on the idea of him signing.
A number of Arsenal supporters believe that the rumours are just an effort to force Spurs into a deal, with some saying ‘Tottenham can have him’ as Arsenal can ‘do better’ than such a ‘midtable signing’.
