Arsenal and Manchester United are set to make offers for Brighton star Jack Hinshelwood in the coming days, according to reports.
Hinshelwood has quietly developed into one of the Premier League’s most promising young players since making his debut in 2023.
Predominantly a defensive midfielder, the 21-year-old recorded eight goal contributions in 27 league appearances last season, helping Brighton qualify for the UEFA Conference League.
He has already been capped 11 times by the England U21s and played a key role in Lee Carsley’s side that won the U21 Euros in 2025.
United have been admirers of Hinshelwood for a long time and it is known that they want to sign a third midfielder this summer following the arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.
Manchester City are also said to be interested, though he does not appear to be a priority signing with the club currently working on a deal for breakout World Cup star Ayyoub Bouaddi.
But it is said that Arsenal are now leading the race for his signature, with the Premier League champions making direct contract with Hinshelwood’s representatives over a possible move.

It is said Mikel Arteta is a big fan of Hinshelwood’s versatility, with the midfielder also capable of playing in a more advanced role and at right-back.
The Gunners are looking at bringing in a right-sided defender given the injury concerns surrounding Jurrien Timber, Ben White and William Saliba.
Moreover, a new midfielder maybe required as while Bruno Guimaraes has signed from Newcastle, there is a chance both Martin Zubimendi and Ethan Nwaneri could leave the club before deadline day.

According to The Sun, Arsenal and United will be making enquiries into Hinshelwood’s availability, and it is believed an offer in the region of £43million to £51m should be enough to get a deal done.
