Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Arsenal and Sporting over the transfer of Morten Hjulmand. The midfielder has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. While Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham have shown interest, Arsenal currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. So far this season, Arsenal are steady at both ends (1.94 goals scored per game, 0.75 goals conceded per game). The role for Morten Hjulmand would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Sporting are said to be exploring Sergi Altimira Clavell with Arsenal likewise connected to Jeremy Monga, Noah Sadiki and Lewis Miley. Need more Arsenal transfer rumours?
