Arsenal interested in signing highly-rated Man United teenager Omari Forson

Arsenal reportedly want to sign Manchester United’s teenage midfielder Omari Forson in the new year.

That’s according to the Daily Mail, who claim that the Gunners have identified the 15-year-old as a perfect signing to boost their crop of young talent.

Forson, previously on the books at Tottenham, made the move north back in January and has featured regularly for United’s Under-16 side.

The youngster has also played and scored on his first appearance for the club’s Under-18 outfit, with Red Devils officials rating the midfielder extremely highly.

The Gunners are expected to shake up the club’s academy recruitment staff, something which they hope will tempt Forson back to north London.

Forson is regarded as one of the hottest English prospects around, and it’s great to see the club making changes in various departments. 

They’ll be hoping that the young midfielder is open to the idea of heading back south, and if he is, we could see him complete a move to the Gunners in 2020.
