FC Porto’s 2006-born Danish midfielder Victor Froholdt is now on the radar of four major European clubs. Arsenal, Tottenham, and Brighton are all closely monitoring the youngster’s recent performances.
Standing at 1.87m, he’s known for his physicality, technical ability, and comparisons to Granit Xhaka as a “future” version of the Arsenal legend due to his passing range and box-to-box presence. Premier League sides have already launched dedicated scouting missions for Froholdt.
The Boy Hotspur’s Substack understands that Tottenham Hotspur have shown strong interest in Froholdt dating back to June 2025, when they were among clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen pursuing him from Copenhagen. However, a potential move to Frankfurt fell through, and Porto secured his signature instead.
Arsenal see him as part of their long-term midfield project. The coaching staff rates his passing range and vision, even calling him a “future Xhaka.”
Tottenham are impressed by Froholdt’s box-to-box style and believe he has the engine to thrive in the Premier League. The club is preparing to make official contact in January. No deal is imminent, but Froholdt’s impressive early-season form at Porto has intensified.
Brighton, known for spotting young gems early, is keeping a close eye on him. Club sources say Froholdt “fits the Brighton profile perfectly.”
Meanwhile, Spanish giants Atlético Madrid admire his physicality and ball-winning ability, seeing him as a good fit for La Liga’s intensity. They’ve been tracking his development at Porto for months.
Porto are open to serious offers in January. The club hopes to generate around €50–60 million from Froholdt’s sale. While the coaching staff appreciate his progress, they’re willing to part ways for the right fee. No deal is imminent, but Froholdt’s impressive early-season form at Porto has intensified.
With his strength, passing quality, and football IQ, Froholdt has caught the eye of Europe’s elite. January could mark the start of a new chapter for the rising star.
