Arsenal monitor Norwich midfielder Cantwell

Arsenal are closely monitoring Norwich youngster Todd Cantwell, according to the Mirror.

The 18-year-old played magnificently when he was watched by Arsenal scout Steve Rowley at Carrow Road as the Gunners look to upgrade their youth team.

Cantwell scored twice, helping his team come from behind to beat Middlesbrough 5-4 and setting up an FA Youth Cup quarter-final with Manchester City at the Etihad.

Arsenal are not the only team tracking Cantwell. Newcastle, Liverpool, both Manchester clubs, and Crystal Palace are all interested in acquiring the services of the Norwich starlet.

Norwich are trying to keep a hold of their player by tying him to a new deal but his contract expires in 2016 and Arsenal could snatch him away.

The Gunners have been looking at many youngsters as they made a bid for Leicester’s teenage left-back Ben Chilwell during the January window. They also tried to sign Fulham’s England under-16s midfielder Ryan Sessegnon but could not finish up the deal.

Arsenal are trying their best to sign more young players and Cantwell is seen as a huge boost in doing so.
