Arsenal are among the clubs sending scouts to watch CSKA Sofia star Valentin Antov, according to Frog News.
Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham will all send scouts out to the Bulgarian capital to watch CSKA Sofia, with Antov having caught the eyes of many Premier League clubs.
The defender has featured seven times so far this season, tallying one assist, with the 19-year-old centre-back keeping five clean sheets in the league so far.
The defender has already played for his country at senior level, and has played in all youth levels as well. The Bulgarian international has already totalled up 39 appearances for CSKA Sofia already.

This is an interesting target for Arsenal. A young up and coming centre half, who already seems a relatively solid defender in his native league in Hungary.
Arsenal are in need of a solid defender, but I’m not sure Antov fits the bill. A relatively inexperienced defender, with no Premier League or major league experience, it is not guaranteed that one he will start or get anywhere near the senior squad.
I think this could be a good signing for the future, but Arsenal need defenders for the here and now. They need to prioritise signing a proven and experienced defender.
