SHEFFIELD UNITED midfielder Sander Berge has dropped a hint regarding his future amid interest from Arsenal.
The Norway international, 23, is expected to depart Bramall Lane in the summer following the Blades’ relegation to the Championship.
Berge – who joined the Yorskshire outfit from Genk in January 2020 for a club record £22million fee – has been limited to just 15 Premier League appearances this season.
Surgery on his hamstring in December saw him ruled out of action until earlier this month when he made his comeback in the 4-0 defeat against Tottenham.
Despite his injury, a number of clubs have been linked with signing him, including Arsenal, who have reportedly had a £17.2m bid rejected.
United are holding out for his £35m relegation release clause fee, but it has been claimed that he would welcome a move to the Emirates.
Meanwhile football.london have stated that Berge would be particularly keen on joining the Gunners should they turn his compatriot Martin Odegaard’s loan spell from Real Madrid into a permanent stay.
And Berge has fuelled speculation that he could link up with Mikel Arteta’s side after posting a picture of him with Odegaard on his Instagram story on Monday night.
Berge shared a photo of the two enjoying a meal out, with Arsenal fans left convinced they was discussing potential moves to the club.
One supporter tweeted: “Odegaard and sander Berge discussing where they’ll be playing next season.”

Another commented: “First Pepe and Bissouma and now Odegaard with Berge.
“I think we might be seeing both Bissouma and Berge coming Arsenal this summer considering we’re light in midfield.”
A third added: “Sander Berge having dinner with Arsenal loanee Odegaard in London. Hint he will be playing with Odegaard next season?”
Meanwhile one quipped: “Odegaard and Sander Berge having dinner tonight talking about how they gona (sic) win the league for Arsenal next season. Things you’d love to see.”
One then simply stated: “Sander Berge is a good player. Will gladly take him at Arsenal.”
