Arsenal are already planning for the future despite their incredible season under Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners remain firmly in the Premier League title race and have also reached the Champions League final.
However, Arsenal’s hierarchy still believes the squad needs more long-term depth if they want to dominate both England and Europe consistently.
Midfield remains one of the most important areas in Arteta’s project. Declan Rice has become one of the first names on the team sheet since arriving from West Ham United.
However, Arsenal are now looking for another young midfielder capable of eventually becoming a major figure at the club.
But according to Fichajes, Arsenal are strongly interested in signing Victor Froholdt from Porto.
Froholdt has rapidly emerged as one of the brightest young midfielders in European football over the last year.
Despite being only 20 years old, he has already earned praise for his maturity, tactical intelligence and ability to control games from midfield.
His style has also led to comparisons with Declan Rice because of his physical presence and all-round qualities.
Several top European clubs are monitoring the situation closely, which could make the battle for his signature extremely difficult this summer.
Mikel Arteta reportedly believes the Danish midfielder perfectly fits the system he wants to build at the Emirates Stadium.
Froholdt has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in Portugal and established himself as one of Porto’s most exciting young players.
Arsenal scouts have reportedly followed his progress for months and view him as a long-term midfield solution capable of thriving in the Premier League.
However, Porto will not make negotiations easy. The Portuguese club are well known for demanding huge transfer fees for their top talents.
Arsenal also face competition from several major European clubs who are monitoring Froholdt’s development ahead of the summer transfer window.
