Arsenal are reportedly one of six clubs interested in signing highly-rated Greek midfielder Christos Mouzakitis from Olympiacos, according to fresh reports from Daily Arsenal.
The 18-year-old has attracted attention for his performances in the Greek Super League this season. Several top European clubs said to be tracking his progress. Alongside Arsenal, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Brighton, Napoli and AC Milan are all reported to be in the race.
Valued at around €25m, Mouzakitis is seen as a long-term midfield prospect capable of playing in multiple central roles, combining technical ability with maturity beyond his years. Details remain speculative at this early stage. Interest from Premier League and Serie A clubs points to a growing belief that he could make the step up to a bigger league.
For Arsenal, targeting young midfield talent fits a pattern under Mikel Arteta, blending experienced operators with emerging prospects. The current central midfield group includes Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino and Christian Nørgaard, offering quality and balance. So adding a younger profile like Mouzakitis could give the club additional depth and flexibility in future seasons.
At 18, he still has plenty of development ahead of him. Any move in January or next summer would likely be viewed as a forward-looking investment rather than an immediate first-team solution.
Still, Arsenal’s name being linked consistently in connection with teenage midfielders, both now and in past reports. This suggests that the club’s scouting network sees real potential in players like Mouzakitis.
