Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Man United are among the teams interested in signing young Peterborough forward Ricky-Jade Jones.
According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners are one of several teams in the hunt to sign the player.
Manchester City, Leicester and Southampton are also being credited with an interest in the 17-year-old following his first-team breakthrough.
Arsenal have already reportedly ‘made checks’ on the player in a bid to get ahead of the competition.

Peterborough have a great record for bringing through younger strikers and selling them on for huge profits.
Jones could be the next name to add to that list with the likes of a Dwight Gayle, Britt Assombalonga, Connor Washington, Jack Marriott and Craig Mackail-Smith all once applying their trade with the Posh.
While none of the aforementioned names ever hit the very top of the Premier League, Jones is clearly a player that many believe can.
Tottenham have already failed with a £2 million approach according to the report and at that price, he would be a relatively risk-free signing that could have a massive reward further down the line.
Arsenal have shown in recent months that chances will come for their younger stars and Jones might just be a name to keep a watchful eye on.
