Arsenal will have scouts watching Hacken midfielder Silas Andersen on Thursday night, according to reports in Denmark.
Ekstra Bladet claim that Gunners representatives have already seen the 21-year-old play several times this season, and they will be present again when he plays in the Conference League later this week.

Hacken will be facing Strasbourg at home in their third group fixture, having drawn their first two fixtures against Shelbourne and Raya Vallecano.
Andersen is a regular starter, having played either as a holding midfielder or a centre-back.
Arsenal are not the only English club who have shown interest
Nottingham Forest were heavily linked with a move for Andersen at the end of the last transfer window, and when asked about a potential move last month, the midfielder said:
“Yeah, yeah. The Premier League is the Premier League. It could be great to get to.”
Ekstra Bladet claim report Arsenal are the team showing the most interest at the moment, although there is no suggestion that they are close to making a formal bid at this stage.
Andersen has had a rollercoaster career so far
Despite only being 21 years of age, the Danish youth international has already had 4 different clubs. He came through the youth ranks at FC Copenhagen before being poached by Inter Milan.
Andersen did not make his first-team debut for the Nerazzurri during his two years in Italy, and he subsequently joined Dutch side FC Utrecht in the summer of 2023.
However, the midfielder only made two senior appearances in the Netherlands, and Hacken decided to take a chance on him by spending €1m to bring him to Sweden at the end of the 2025 January transfer window. Since then, he has played 40 games across all competitions, as well as being called up by Denmark’s Under-21s.
