Going into the January transfer window, reports surfaced claiming Arsenal were interested in signing Jesper Lindstrom from Eintracht Frankfurt. Now, German journalist Florian Plettenberg says the interest from the Gunners is still there, but the race for the services of the player has gotten interesting with Liverpool ready to swoop in as well.
Leading the race for the Premier League title at the moment, Arsenal don’t need much tinkering, but increasing the depth of the squad, particularly in the middle of the park – which is what they’ve been trying to do since last summer, would certainly make sense for the future challenges. Liverpool, on the other hand, need a complete overhaul of their midfield section, with three players from the department set to leave Anfield at the end of the season, and others underperforming severely this term.
Eintracht are apparently open to selling the 23-year-old Denmark international who has made 31 appearances in all competitions this term, expecting a fee in the region of €50 million, but they might accept less.
❗️X News #Lindström: Liverpool highly interested! Next to Arsenal. Understand both clubs were already in contact with Frankfurt about a transfer in summer. #SGE bosses open to let him go. Price expectation: €50m. Realistic: €35-40m. Poker has started. #LFC #AFC @SkySportDE 🇩🇰 pic.twitter.com/Qwh2LSfxxu
