Arsenal are showing serious interest in 17-year-old forward Kevin Filling from Swedish club AIK. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Juventus are also keeping a close eye on the promising player.
The young star has already established himself in senior football, catching the attention of top scouts across Europe. Representatives from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Juventus have been seen regularly attending AIK matches in Stockholm.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea view Filling as a long-term project. The clubs are eager to sign him early, with plans to develop his talent gradually and eventually integrate him into their first teams.
Liverpool and Juventus also see great potential in the Swede for a successful transition from the academy to the senior level.
Standing at around 185 cm tall, Filling can play as a central striker or on the left flank in an inverted winger role. His main attributes include speed, physical strength, and impressive finishing.
In the 2026 season, Filling made 17 appearances in Allsvenskan, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists, totalling 7 points in the goals and assists metric.
Filling's contract with AIK runs until June 2028, which means the Swedish club is not under pressure to sell. It is expected that a future transfer could cost buyers between €20-25 million, considering bonuses, sell-on clauses, and the likelihood of a loan back to AIK.
