Arsenal are reportedly one of six Premier League clubs keeping a close eye on a teenage striker playing for a League One club.
According to the Mirror, the Gunners have been scouting 16-year-old MK Dons striker Dylan Asonganyi, who has scored 20 goals in just 17 appearances for his club’s under-18 and under-23 sides so far this season.
The report claims that Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Leicester City are the other five clubs who sent scouts to watch the teenage sensation recently, whilst a report from September claimed that Liverpool and West Ham United were also interested in Asonganyi.
The prolific forward doesn’t turn 17 until December, but has already been earmarked by bosses at MK Dons for a fast-track to their first team in order to keep his magnificent development going at a good pace.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli, who is considered one of the guaranteed names on the plane to Russia for the World Cup next summer, joined the Premier League side from MK Dons as a teenager, and Asonganyi is bound to be hoping for a similar route up the English footballing ladder.
Arsenal could potentially benefit from some extra firepower, and Asonganyi certainly seems a player with real potential.
