Arsenal are monitoring 17-year-old AIK centre-forward Kevin Filling, who has also played as a left winger, as a potential project signing. It is reported that the club is looking to capitalize after Manchester United entered negotiations, which were described as concrete, to sign the Swedish and Senegalese player in October but failed to complete the deal. It is also said that Liverpool, Chelsea, and Juventus are monitoring the forward. Filling became part of the AIK senior squad last year. He has 6 caps and 3 goals for the Sweden U19 team. In the 2025/2026 Allsvenskan season, he made 17 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. His contract with AIK is valid until August 2029, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €4.00m. It was reported in May 2026 that AIK had turned down a bid of approximately £2 million from Swansea City.
