Arsenal lead race for Brighton midfielder – latest transfer news

Arsenal is leading the pursuit for Brighton's England Under-21 midfielder, Jack Hinshelwood, according to recent transfer news. The 21-year-old is a top priority for Mikel Arteta's side, with Manchester City and Manchester United also vying for his signature. Arsenal has already held talks with Hinshelwood's representatives, and an official bid is anticipated.

The midfielder is a versatile player capable of excelling in various midfield positions and full-back roles, which makes him an attractive target for Arteta. Brighton would be willing to accept a fee ranging from £43-51 million for the player.

In other transfer news, Gabriel Jesus is reportedly in discussions with Italian side Napoli regarding a potential move away from the Premier League champions. Arsenal values the Brazilian defender at €20 million, with his contract expiring in June 2027. Meanwhile, Como has shown interest in Chelsea forward Liam Delap, who is seeking a loan move from the Premier League champions.

Delap, who signed for Chelsea from Ipswich last summer for £30 million, has scored once in 28 Premier League appearances. Finally, Leeds will need to pay at least £8.5 million to acquire Nico Elvedi from Borussia Mönchengladbach, as reported by Kicker. The Swiss international is under contract until 2027 and can only leave the Bundesliga club if a suitable replacement is found.
