Arsenal are in a leading position to sign Brighton midfielder Jack Hinshelwood, who they have identified as a priority target for this summer. According to a report from The Sun, the North London club are leading the effort to sign the English youth international. People from Arsenal are already in talks with Jack Hinshelwood’s representatives and are preparing an official offer. Mikel Arteta considers him a good fit for his system. The report suggests that offers in the range of £43 million to £51 million could be accepted. With three years still left on his deal, Brighton have an advantage in negotiations.

According to a statement from CaughtOffside, Arsenal's transfer interest in Jack Hinshelwood was particularly strong. An announcement from Brighton confirmed that Hinshelwood has signed a new and improved contract at The AMEX, extending his deal until 2029. A report from CaughtOffside indicated that Brighton values Hinshelwood in the range of £40m-£45m.

Arsenal and Manchester City are understood to be the leading clubs interested in Brighton's 20-year-old English midfielder, Jack Hinshelwood. Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola are reportedly in favour of young, homegrown players. CaughtOffside has been informed by sources close to the agents industry that as the summer of 2026 nears, the versatile player has attracted significant interest from top English clubs. Liverpool and Chelsea are also said to consider him a long-term investment. Hinshelwood's contract is valid until June 2028, which puts Brighton in a strong negotiating position. The club would demand a fee between €45-55 million, an amount considered to be above his market valuation but justified by his age and adaptability. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €22.00m. In the 2025/2026 Premier League season, Hinshelwood has made 16 appearances, scoring one goal and providing two assists. He has 11 caps for the England U21 team.
