Arsenal have advanced their efforts to sign Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand, according to reports on May 14, 2026. The 24-year-old Danish international has been a key target for the Gunners, who face competition from Manchester United for his signature.
Hjulmand, who joined Sporting from Lecce in 2023, has impressed in Portugal with his defensive midfield abilities. His release clause is reportedly set at €80 million, though negotiations may lower the fee.
Arsenal are seeking to strengthen their midfield depth ahead of the 2026-27 season, with Hjulmand seen as a long-term option. No official bid has been confirmed, but sources indicate talks have progressed.
