Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Monday that Arsenal and Manchester United have made formal enquiries about 21‑year‑old Joaquin Seys, with Aston Villa, Newcastle, Benfica and Porto also linked.
- Club Brugge have set an asking price of roughly €35m (£30m) and are said to be in no rush to sell a player who has three years left on his contract.
- Manchester United have intensified their interest after progress on Lewis Hall stalled with Newcastle, with sources describing United as “very keen” on finding a left‑back this window.
- Arsenal have tracked Seys for some time and a second source suggested the Gunners may currently be leading the race, though no official bids have been lodged.
- Seys is a 21‑year‑old Belgium international who played at the World Cup and produced strong 2025–26 numbers, making him a versatile, lower‑cost option that could alter late summer business for several clubs.
