Arsenal are planning a £50 million move for RB Leipzig star Emil Forsberg, according to reports from Sweden.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the winger, who can also play as a number 10, in recent times and it seems a bid is being readied this summer.
It’s stated by Swedish outlet Expressen, as cited by TMW, that the Gunners are willing to part with a huge sum of £50m to land Forsberg, who struggled to make a lasting impact at Leipzig last season.
Juventus were also heavily linked with the player but it seems they will not be making a move, with Arsenal stealing a march in the race for Forsberg’s signature.
If recent reports are to be believed, Unai Emery has been allocated a budget worth £70m for the summer transfer window and the addition of Forsberg would certainly take up a chunk of the new boss’ funds.
Forsberg will be desperate to impress on the global stage this summer, too, as he jets off to Russia with the Sweden national team for the World Cup.
