Arsenal are front-runners to sign Jack Hinshelwood
Arsenal have contacted his representatives and are preparing an official bid as Brighton seek more than £43 million, reports said.
- On Saturday, August 15, 2026, Arsenal emerged as frontrunners to sign Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Jack Hinshelwood, with the Gunners in talks with the 21-year-old's representatives and preparing an official bid.
- Manager Mikel Arteta views the England Under-21 star as a perfect tactical fit, capable of playing as a defensive midfielder, central midfielder, or full-back on either side.
- Securing the midfielder will prove challenging, as Brighton values him significantly, with reports suggesting offers between £43 million and £51 million could be accepted by the Seagulls.
- With three years remaining on his contract, Brighton holds strong negotiating leverage, though the club would prefer to retain their academy graduate but may sanction an exit.
- Arsenal continue to explore other defensive options, having added Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah to their shortlist through intermediaries, with no direct talks between the North London clubs.
