Arsenal appears to be ahead of Manchester United in the pursuit of highly-rated Brighton midfielder Jack Hinshelwood, with the North London club reportedly making contact with the player's representatives.
The 21-year-old versatile player, who can feature in midfield and at full-back, has attracted significant attention from both Premier League giants this summer. Manchester United have been monitoring Hinshelwood for a considerable period, expressing a strong desire to secure his signature.
However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to be a keen admirer of the young talent, giving the Gunners an edge in the race. Sources suggest Arsenal have already initiated discussions regarding a potential transfer.
Reports indicate that either club would need to shell out between £43 million and £51 million to secure Hinshelwood's services. Brighton holds the player in high regard and is unlikely to sanction a sale without receiving their valuation.
The prospect of joining a top-tier club like Arsenal or Manchester United is undoubtedly appealing for Hinshelwood, who is recognized for his substantial potential. His familiarity with English football should facilitate a smooth transition to either club, making him an intriguing long-term investment for teams focused on future growth.
