Arsenal in fierce battle to sign Leicester’s Louis Page

By on November 10, 2026

Arsenal are reportedly in a fierce battle over a deal to sign Leicester City midfielder Louis Page, as per TEAMtalk.

Following Christian Norgaard’s departure, the Gunners decided to reinforce the midfield department by purchasing Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United last summer.

As a result, Mikel Arteta currently has the Brazilian plus Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Mikel Merino as options to deploy in the deeper midfield position.

So, Arsenal are currently well stocked in midfield, with Merino mainly featuring as a rotational option. Still, it appears the Emirates club have continued to explore options to add further depth to this position.

Now, TEAMtalk state that Arsenal have kept a close eye on Page’s development in recent weeks and could make a move next year. Although the 18-year-old still has a contract until 2029, Leicester are prepared to cash-in on him in January.

However, they want to keep Page on loan until the end of this season and are demanding around £15m, including bonuses. Apart from Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford are also in this race.

Moreover, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona and Real Madrid have been keeping a close eye on him. However, the report state that Manchester United are confident of purchasing him by defeating other clubs in this race.

Page to Arsenal

The Red Devils came very close to buying the youngster last summer, but the deal ultimately fell through, and he stayed at King Power Stadium.

Page is a left-footed, technically gifted, versatile midfielder as he is comfortable in the defensive midfield and box-to-box roles. He can dribble past opposition defenders in tight areas and can make surging runs from deep.

He has shown glimpses of his qualities in League One this season, making six goal contributions in 15 appearances across all competitions.

The Englishman is a talented player and possesses the potential to reach the top. Therefore, he might be a shrewd acquisition for Arsenal with a view to the long-term future should they purchase him.

However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the North London club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services in January or next summer.
