Arsenal monitors AIK forward Kevin Filling for a potential transfer
Summary

Arsenal is monitoring 17-year-old AIK forward Kevin Filling as part of a recruitment effort to secure young talent. The teenager has recorded seven goal contributions across 17 appearances in the Allsvenskan this year. Scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Juventus have reportedly observed the player in Stockholm. While the forward is viewed as a potential long-term addition to the first team, any transfer deal could cost between €20m and €25m. AIK remains in a strong negotiating position with a contract running until June 2028 and holds no immediate pressure to sell. The potential move could include a loan-back arrangement to the Swedish club.
