Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked strongly with an interest in the transfer of Eintracht Frankfurt attacking midfielder Jesper Lindstrom and Fabrizio Romano has had his say on the rumours.
Commenting on Lindstrom’s future amid the Arsenal and Liverpool links, Romano said: “There has been some strong speculation about Arsenal and Liverpool being in contact over trying to sign Jesper Lindstrom from Eintracht Frankfurt.
“I’d never deny info from others; can just say that I’m told it’s true that Premier League clubs are informed on Lindstrom but I’m not aware of proposals, bids or advanced negotiations yet. Price tag could be around €40m.”
Lindstrom is an attacking midfield who has scored seven and assisted four in 22 Bundesliga games so far this season.
He can also play on the left and right wings. But given he is quite an attacking option, Liverpool may be better served looking elsewhere for a midfielder as they could do with someone who is more defensively minded to help plug the holes in their backline.
The 23-year-old Dane joined Eintracht Frankfurt in 2021 and is currently under contract with the German outfit until 2026.
In terms of Arsenal’s interest in Lindstrom, he is potentially a good long-term replacement for Granit Xhaka and Jorginho, who are both getting on in years.
