Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs said to be interested in Hoffenheim midfielder Florian Grillitsch.

According to a report from Sport Bild, the star has been one of the Bundesliga side’s shining lights this season.

Grillitsch has been ever-present for Alfred Schreuder’s side, and has been key in the club’s push to finish among the European places.

His level of performance has attracted teams from England, with Newcastle United and Southampton also mentioned by Sport Bild.

The report claims Grillitsch is available to teams from smaller leagues for around €20 million/£17 million, but for Premier League sides the price is €25 million/£21 million.

Grillitsch, has been with the club since 2017 after joining from Werder Bremen.

Apparently, the player is to make a decision on his future before the European Championships, where he’s set to feature for Austria.

TBR’s view – Arsenal have most need for Grillitsch

Grillitsch is a defensively minded midfielder, which may suggest that Arsenal have the biggest need for the player of the teams reportedly interested.

Standing at 6ft 2in tall, Grillitsch would bring some added height and physicality to the Gunners’ engine room.

There has been some speculation about the future of Lucas Torreira this season, and should the Uruguayan depart then Grillitsch could be a decent pickup.
