Arsenal and Manchester United have reportedly joined the race for Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi, according to Football Insider. The Germany youth international has made a blistering start to the season.
Tresoldi’s Rise at Club Brugge
The 22-year-old arrived from Hannover in 2025 and quickly became a key figure in Belgium, finishing his first campaign with 23 goals and nine assists. He has since added 12 goals in 14 appearances this term, including a Champions League hat-trick against Inter Milan.
Brugge reportedly turned down interest last summer and put a £42m valuation on him. They are said to be reluctant to sell mid-season, so any deal may have to wait until next summer.
Why Arsenal and United Are Interested
Tresoldi’s aerial ability and link-up play have impressed, averaging almost three aerial duels won per Champions League game. His physical development still has room to grow, but the potential is clear.
Arsenal know the club well after signing Christos Tzolis from Brugge, and Tresoldi could be viewed as long-term competition or cover for Viktor Gyokeres. United, meanwhile, are searching for another top-class option alongside the injured Benjamin Sesko, with Joshua Zirkzee potentially moving on.
Our Take
At £42m, Tresoldi looks a sensible investment if he maintains this scoring rate. Arsenal’s existing Brugge pipeline could give them an edge, though United’s need for a reliable goalscorer is arguably more pressing. Expect other clubs to monitor him closely as the season unfolds.
