The Red Devils have already strengthened their midfield with the signings of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, but could pursue another signing in the department before the transfer<\/a> window closes.<\/p>\n The Sun<\/em> claim that Arsenal are leading the race to land Brighton midfielder Hinshelwood. The north London club are preparing an official bid for the player after holding direct talks with his entourage.<\/p>\n However, they are bound to face competition from Man United. The Red Devils have a long-term interest in the 21-year-old and are planning their own move. The club are ready to challenge the Gunners.<\/p>\n Brighton could be persuaded to sell for a package between \u00a343 million and \u00a351 million, as per\u00a0The Sun.<\/em><\/p>\n Arsenal have one of the best midfields in the Premier League<\/a>. They recently added Bruno Guimaraes to their central midfield options which include Declan Rice<\/a>, Mikel Merino, Martin Zubimendi and Myles Lewis-Skelly.<\/p>\n The club are now exploring a deal for Hinshelwood, who can play in different roles. He primarily featured as a defensive or attacking midfielder for Brighton during the previous season under manager Fabian Hurzeler.<\/p>\n However, the youngster has also played as a right or left-back in the past for the Seagulls. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta<\/a> likes to work with versatile players, and Hinshelwood could get playing time in different positions.<\/p>\n United have also entered the race for the 21-year-old Englishman. Aside from a third midfield signing, the Red Devils are also in the transfer market for a deputy left-back to support Luke Shaw for the upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n Hinshelwood would provide a solution for both roles, but the big question remains whether Brighton would entertain his sale.\u00a0The Sun<\/em> may claim that he is available for \u00a343m-51m, but Brighton are a tough negotiating outfit.<\/p>\n The South Coast club will be aware of the inflated prices for transfers throughout the summer. Mateus Fernandes, for example, joined Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur for \u00a385m despite West Ham<\/a> United\u2019s relegation to the Championship. Arsenal and United were reluctant to pay the fee.<\/p>\n Based on that, we fully expect Brighton to hold out for a much higher fee. They could easily demand \u00a370-80m for Hinshelwood, which could put off the Gunners and Red Devils from making an offer for his services this summer.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
According to The Sun<\/span><\/a>, Manchester United<\/a> are prepared to challenge Arsenal<\/a> to sign Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Jack Hinshelwood this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\nGood prospect<\/h3>\n
