Arsenal and Liverpool compete for €55 million midfielder

According to a report from Ekstra Bladet, the two Premier League giants have set their sights on Danish midfielder Jesper Lindstrom. The 23-year-old midfielder has impressed while playing for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Arsenal has already made an important midfield signing in Declan Rice. However, they are still open to the possibility of bringing in another quality star in the central midfield position.

Lindstrom has been particularly outstanding as a right-sided midfielder. The Danish star shares similarities in playing style with Martin Odegaard. Lindstrom is skilled at ball retention and excels at exploiting spaces in the opponent’s defensive system.

Similarly, Liverpool has bolstered their midfield area with two signings, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp still needs another quality central midfielder following the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

Eintracht Frankfurt values Lindstrom at around €50 to €55 million, a figure that poses a financial challenge for many clubs. Apart from Liverpool and Arsenal, several other European clubs have been linked to Lindstrom, including Newcastle, Tottenham, RB Leipzig, Juventus, Inter Milan, and Napoli.
