Arsenal have been known for their interest in young players over the years, as they have brought in a number of players including the likes of Thierry Henry, Theo Walcott and many more at a young age and has nurtured them to bring out the best in them. They are looking to continue on their merry way and look to bring in a number of young players in the forthcoming days as well.
Currently, the Gunners are interested in making a move for the England international Jaden Sancho, who has been one of the stars of the Under-17 England side in the recently played tournaments. The17-year-old has also been offered a new contract to stay back at the Etihad, with his current contract ending in 2020.
However, Manchester City’s new coach Pep Guardiola, who has been looking to revamp the squad by bringing in new players, has not taken notice of the England starlet and has omitted him from the side which boarded the flight to USA for their pre-season tour. The decision has, in fact, surprised a number of fans as well as the experts, who were looking ahead to have a glimpse of the Under-17 ace in their club colours during the pre-season campaign.
This has reportedly irked the interests of a number of clubs from the Premier League as well as the Championship, including the likes of Arsenal and their arch rivals Tottenham. Both the North London clubs are looking to make a bid for the player to be brought into their side for the next term, with the prospect of strengthening their sides for the future.
The youngster, who prefers to play as a left winger, is known for his darting runs into the heart of the opposition defence and takes aim at the goal frequently. He has the ability to bamboozle the opponent defenders with his pace and prowess and is also known for his brilliant finishes from the close range to keep his team in advantage. He also has the ability to pass the ball in the right direction and to the right man, thus assisting by creating opportunities for them to score goals from time to time.
With his future in jeopardy at the Etihad Stadium, it is likely that the English international might look to head towards the Emirates Stadium, which might turn out to be the right decision for him to flourish under the tutelage of one of the most experienced and respected managers in the Premier League.
