Arsenal are willing to challenge Newcastle United for Rasmus Hojlund’s signature.
Arsenal are trying to add more quality players ahead of the new season and they added a new name to the wishlist. They can sign Serie A sensation Rasmus Højlund in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke who told GIVEMESPORT.
Hojlund has enjoyed a stellar season with Atalanta and O’Rourke believes the Danish striker would be a superb fit for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Arsenal are one of a number of teams keen on signing Højlund this summer.
It’s added that Arsenal are willing to challenge Newcastle United for the 20-year-old’s signature.
Hojlund arrived from the Austrian side Sturm Graz for a reported €17 million in August. He could be subject to a big-money move from Arsenal.
The 20-year-old could command a price tag of €50 million (£44 million) in the summer window.
Speaking in an interview with GIVEMESPORT, journalist O’Rourke believes Arsenal would be a suitable destination for Højlund.
Indicating Arteta would relish the opportunity to work with the forward, O’Rourke told GIVEMESPORT: “I think there’ll be a number of clubs who will be looking at Rasmus Højlund this summer as well.
“But if Arsenal head of the queue, they could find themselves a real top player here and I’m sure Mikel Arteta would love the opportunity to bring the player to the Emirates.
“There’s been lots of hype around Højlund recently as he is obviously playing very well for Atalanta in Serie A. He’s then gone away on international duty and scored a few goals for Denmark as well.
“So a very highly rated young forward and he’s earning comparisons with Erling Haaland, which is always good.”
