Arsenal and Liverpool are both keen on signing FC Porto midfielder Victor Froholdt, according to veteran Danish journalist Mads Glenn Wehlast.
Wehlast was the first to report that the Gunners wanted Christian Norgaard last summer and has now claimed the club are eyeing Froholdt as manager Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his midfield.
However, Liverpool will rival them for the 20-year-old as manager Arne Slot is desperate to turn things around at the club.
Newcastle United also want the Denmark international midfielder, and Porto will sell him if his €75 million release clause is activated.
Froholdt played a huge role in helping the Portuguese top-flight club clinch their league title last week, weighing in with six goals and six assists in 32 games.
His passing, dribbling and versatility have impressed suitors, but he is unlikely to get a starting spot at either Arsenal or Liverpool given their current options in the middle of the park.
Froholdt won the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup with FC Copenhagen last term. He was named in the Danish Superliga Team of the Year and was the Danish Superliga Young Player of the Year.
He was the Danish Football Player of the Year following the brilliant campaign, and many people back home believe he has what it takes to impress in the Premier League.
However, a move to England could come too soon for him as he needs to keep playing regularly for his progression to continue.
Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to monitor his situation, but it is highly unlikely that Froholdt will be a priority target for either club this summer.
