Arsenal have held talks with Brondby over signing central midfielder Anis Ben Slimane, according to reports in Denmark. The Danish-born Tunisian only made his first-team debut against Odense SK last month but the Gunners are said to be keen to take the teenager to the Emirates.

Brondby are in financial difficulties, following the suspension of football due to the ongoing health crisis, and they are looking to offload some of their best talent in order to make ends meet.

Ben Slimane has reportedly been watched by Manchester United and AC Milan in the past, and he is seen as one of the brightest young prospects in Denmark, which has no doubt attracted the interest of the Gunners.

Brondby are said to be holding out for around €5m (£4.5m) for the 19-year-old but they may have to settle for a lower amount if they need the funds from his potential sale.
