A player reportedly on the radar of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been earmarked for a potential future move to the Premier League by his agent.

According to The Sun, the Gunners are in the race to snap up Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, along with Leicester City, Chelsea, Juventus and Inter Milan.

Italian outlet Calciomercato, meanwhile, previously linked the Hungary international with Juve, Inter, AC Milan and Lazio, who had reportedly dubbed him the new Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Szoboszlai was signed by the Austrian giants in March 2017 from Fehervar FC, then known as Videoton FC.

The 19-year-old then spent the first half of the 2017-18 season with Austrian second division club Liefering, where he registered an impressive 16 goals and 11 assists from just 42 first-team appearances.

Now an established member of Salzburg’s first team, the youngster has made 50 first-team appearances, scoring nine goals and registering 13 assists in all competitions.

Matyas Esterhazy, Szoboszlai’s agent, is quoted by The Sun as saying: “There are some great options and England is definitely a very good one for the future.

“But the main thing now is to survive the crisis and finish the season, hopefully as champions.”

Red Bull Salzburg have been a hotbed of talent this season, with Takumi Minamino and Erling Braut Haaland both moving to bigger clubs in January.

Hwang Hee-chan, meanwhile, has been previously linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers and “a number of rival Premier League and European clubs” by The Telegraph.

Szoboszlai is also a high-calibre player, with an impressive CV for club and country – already capped eight times – seeing him compared with the likes of Milinkovic-Savic and Toni Kroos.

“A lot of people say that my style of play is close to Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Toni Kroos… it is a great thing to hear that,” he told Goal.com last year.

With Szoboszlai’s agent leaving the door open on a potential Premier League move, there’s definitely food for thought for Arteta and his Gunners.
