Arsenal want to bring Red Bull Salzburg’s Hungarian midfielder Szoboszlai to the Premier League with Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Juventus also linked.
Red Bull Salzburg wonder-kid Dominik Szoboszlai admitted he is honoured to be linked with a summer switch to Arsenal, while speaking to Goal.
The 18-year-old midfielder is seen as one of the greatest talents to emerge in Hungarian football for many a year and has forced his way into the Salzburg first-team in recent months.
Szoboszlai, a midfielder with real technique and an excellent passing range, recently grabbed an assist in a 3-1 Europa League victory against Napoli and scored his first goal in the Austrian Bundesliga against FC Wacker this month.
According to AS, his performances have caught the eye of Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Inter Milan with his price tag currently standing at £9 million.
While Szoboszlai is clearly loving life in Austria, he is thrilled that his talent has caught the eye of clubs all across the continent.
“Of course, it is a huge honour to be linked with giant clubs like Juventus, Bayern or Arsenal, but at this stage of my career, I only focus on my current duties and my development at Salzburg,” the Hungarian U21 international said.
“A lot of people say that my style of play is close to Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Toni Kroos. It is a great thing to hear that.”
Arsenal signed two young midfield talents last summer in Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira and it remains to be seen whether Szaboszlai, or the ‘Hungarian Kroos’, will join them at The Emirates.
