According to the Mail, Arsenal are ready to swoop for Manchester City’s 15-year old marksman Tyrese Campbell.
Campbell, son of former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin, hit a staggering 49 goals for City’s U16 side last season.
The youngster is one of many talented prospects in the youth ranks at City and has already represented England U17’s.
Arsenal are said to be keen, though, and the opportunity fo follow in his father’s footsteps could be enough to persuade him to move down South.
City are already reaping the rewards of the new £200m City Football Academy training facility; with the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Patrick Roberts, Manu Garcia and George Evans all taking to the field for the first-team side this season.
Campbell, who turns 16 this month, is also thought to be highly rated, but with such competition for places coupled with the success of youngsters Hector Bellerin, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Francis Coquelin at Arsenal, could mean the striker moves to the Emirates.
The two clubs will face off before then, however, with Arsenal hosting City at the Emirates in tonight’s Monday night football clash.
