Arsenal have expressed interest in signing highly rated Hertha Berlin defensive midfielder Kennet Eichhorn, according to Christian Falk via CF Bayern Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In August, Eichhorn surpassed Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu to become the youngest ever player in Germany\u2019s second division after debuting against Karlsruher SC at 16 years and 14 days.<\/p>\n

Current Copenhagen and former Borussia Dortmund prodigy Youssoufa Moukoko still holds the record for the youngest-ever debutant across Germany\u2019s top two divisions, having featured just a few days after his 16th birthday.<\/p>\n

A month after Eichhorn\u2019s debut, the defensive midfielder etched his name into German football history books by becoming the youngest starter in Bundesliga 2 after being handed a starting berth in Berlin\u2019s matchday five clash against Hannover 96, and he has not looked back since then.<\/p>\n

The youngster has gone on to make 12 appearances for Stefan Leitl\u2019s side, with ten of those being starts, while also starting in the club\u2019s two games in the DFB-Pokal before an unfortunate injury in January halted his momentum.<\/p>\n

According to CF Bayern Insider, Arsenal are looking to reinforce their midfield next summer and have already expressed \u2018strong interest\u2019 in Bayern Munich\u2019s Leon Goretzka.<\/p>\n

The report adds that the Premier League table toppers are also keeping an eye on promising prospects, with Eichhorn now piquing their interest.<\/p>\n

Exciting prospect<\/p>\n

However, the Gunners are set to face stern competition for the German midfield as Christian Falk, via CF Bayern Insider, claims that Manchester United have earmarked him as a possible midfield option, while Bayern Munich have shown a \u2018concrete interest\u2019 in the 16-year-old as a possible successor to Goretzka.<\/p>\n

Since the appointment of Andrea Berta as sporting director, Arsenal have now just focused on adequate first-team reinforcements but also a youth-driven recruitment policy that has seen several exciting prospects move to the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

They recently signed talented Colombian twins Edwin and Holger Quintero, while highly rated Stoke City centre-back Jaden Dixon and St Mirren striker Evan Mooney joined before the winter transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

Eichhor, valued at \u00a317m by Transfermarkt<\/a>, would be a good addition to the Gunners\u2019 ranks, as he possesses immense technical qualities that suit the possession-based style accustomed to the club.<\/p>\n

Standing at 6ft 1in, the Germany U17 international is a combative tackler and relentless ball winner, and those qualities could prove useful to Mikel Arteta should the club secure a deal for his signature ahead of other rivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal have expressed interest in signing highly rated Hertha Berlin defensive midfielder Kennet Eichhorn, according to Christian Falk…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34545,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[748,112,190,7270,12778,1150],"class_list":{"0":"post-34544","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-berlin","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-berlin","10":"tag-germany","11":"tag-hertha-berlin","12":"tag-kennet-eichhorn","13":"tag-transfer-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116184074518359695","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
