Arsenal & Man Utd keen on signing Brighton star

Arsenal and Manchester United have expressed an interest in signing Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Jack Hinshelwood this summer, according to The Sun.

The 21-year-old had a productive 2025/26 season with the Seagulls, and he was particularly impressive as an attacking midfielder in the final third of the campaign.

Hinshelwood can also operate as a defensive midfielder or as a full-back, and his versatility is a prime reason behind the increased transfer interest.

Arsenal reportedly have an upper hand over United, having contacted his camp, but the Red Devils believe they can challenge the Gunners.

Hinshelwood has less than three years remaining in his contract at Brighton, and it is claimed that a deal could be done for £51 million.

Brighton are a tough negotiating club, and we won't be surprised if they hold out for a higher fee if there is a bidding way for the player.

The young midfielder has given the green light for a bigger challenge.
