The former Reading star played for an Arsenal XI last week.
Arsenal are keeping track of former Reading goalkeeper Dan Lincoln, with a view to potentially offering him a deal at the club.
It is reported by Local Berkshire that Arsenal could offer him a contract at The Emirates after impressing during a trial period. He played in a recent Arsenal XI match against Hitchin Town in a 1-1 draw.

The 21-year-old was released by Reading last summer after spending time on loan at the Met Police, Harrow Borough, Farnborough and Nuneaton whilst he was at the club.
He trained with Swindon Town last summer before spending last season with Hayes and Yeading and Basingstoke Town. Most recently he has been dual registered with non-league sides Bognor Regis and Braintree Town.

He is also a keen and talented cricketer. Lincoln plays for both Finchampstead and Berkshire and has made local headlines for his performances at the crease.
It remains to be seen if he has done enough to earn a deal at Arsenal permanently but it would be an excellent turnaround for a player who was released by Reading 18 months ago.
If the deal doesn’t come off for him, then there is always cricket to fall back on for this talented young man.
