Who is Rasmus Hojlund? Arsenal face Real Madrid competition for 'next Erling Haaland' transfer

Arsenal are said to have set their sights on Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer transfer window, but will face competition from Real Madrid. The 20-year-old has caught the eye of top clubs across Europe following his impressive performances in the Serie A this season.

The Gunners have heavily invested into their attack in recent months with Gabriel Jesus completing a £45million move to the Emirates Stadium last summer, before Leandro Trossard signed from Brighton in January. Gabriel Martinelli became the latest player to commit his long-term future to the club, signing a new contract until 2027 on improved terms to reward his development.

Among the club's priorities now is to extend Bukayo Saka's current deal, which is set to expire in 2024. It now looks as though Edu is ready to invest transfer funds in the attack once again ahead of next season with Champions League qualification looking highly likely, whilst a possible Premier League title would also improve finances at the club.
