A title-winning club are reportedly interested in signing one of Arsenal’s most exciting talents, who is already rumoured to be in talks to leave this summer.
The transfer window is yet to open, the rumours surrounding the futures of many Arsenal players have already been flying around, with this week seeing Emile Smith Rowe linked with a move to London rivals Fulham.
Aaron Ramsdale has also been reported with a move to Newcastle United yet again, with Arsenal expected to make quite the sum this summer if they can offload their unwanted players for good fees in the window.
And a top club could now be about to swoop for a highly-rated Hale End prospect.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Belgian champions Club Brugge are keeping an eye on Arsenal youngster Mika Biereth, who has just returned from Sturm Graz having won the Austrian Bundesliga this season.
Tavolieri wrote: “Blauw & Zwart keep an eye and following situation of Mika Biereth. International U21 Denmark striker of Arsenal has been watched multiple times with Sturm Graz these last months. No offer yet. To substitute Igor Thiago, Club Brugge will sign a striker this summer.”

With Sturm Graz reportedly in talks already to sign Biereth on a permanent deal, interest is building for the Arsenal striker, who this season scored an impressive 15 goals in all competitions out on loan.
Indeed, the decision to join either Club Brugge or Sturm Graz will be a difficult one for Biereth given how similar the two sides are in terms of reputation and European pedigree, and Arsenal could now seek to benefit greatly from this transfer saga.
Arsenal will hope to see bidding war begin over Biereth this month
After such a fantastic year out on loan with both Sturm Graz and Motherwell, Biereth has more than warranted interest from some big teams across the continent, with Club Brugge now in the mix.
And for Arsenal, the north London side will now be hopeful that a bidding war soon sparks out between interested parties over Biereth, who could recoup a good transfer fee given his age and form this year.
With first-team opportunities unlikely next season, the time is now for Biereth to move on from Arsenal, and a big-money move to a club competing in the UEFA Champions League could now be on the table.
