Arsenal target speaks out on January transfer move after 'scouting mission'

BK Hacken star Silas Andersen has addressed rumours linking him with a future move to Arsenal.

The Gunners are enjoying an impressive first half of the season, which currently sees them six points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta's side also have a 100 percent record in the Champions League with four wins from their opening four matches and are yet to concede a goal in the competition.

Arsenal's impressive start to the campaign comes after investing in eight new signings during the summer transfer window.

Andersen has emerged as one of the latest players to be linked with a move to Arsenal ahead of the January transfer window.

Reports have recently claimed that the Gunners have scouted the 21-year-old midfielder, but it remains to be seen if a move is being planned for the New Year.

Amid the speculation, Andersen has addressed the rumours that Arsenal could be looking to secure his signature, with the midfielder remaining coy about the speculation.

“I don’t know. I’ll let my agent work on it. I don’t know much," Andersen is quoted as saying, via Fotboll Skanalen.

Andersen was further quizzed about the possibility of a move to Arsenal, which the 21-year-old admits would make him "happy".

"It's a big club. I would be happy," said Andersen. The Denmark Under-20 international, who recently featured for Hacken in a 2-1 defeat to Strasbourg in the Conference League on Thursday night, went on to explain why he is still uncertain about what may happen next when it comes to his future.

"There is a lot of interest," Andersen admitted, when asked what his agent says about other clubs potentially making a move in the future. "Now people have to make a move, but we'll see."

After being asked if a January transfer may be on the cards, Andersen said: "I have no idea. That's something I need to talk to Martin (Ericsson, Hacken football director) and Erik (Friberg, Hacken sporting director) about."
