Arsenal believe that Tyreece John-Jules will eventually become a first-team star, Football London report.

Arsenal have loaned out John-Jules to Doncaster Rovers this season, but they are keeping a close eye on the 19-year-old forward.

John-Jules has impressed in Arsenal’s youth team set-up, and there is a belief around the club that he can become a first-team starter in team.

It is actually due to the 19-year-old’s ability that Arsenal may be willing to listen to offers for Folarin Balogun.

Balogun is said to be behind Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli and John-Jules in the pecking order for places at the Emirates Stadium, which means that Arsenal could be tempted to cash in.

Balogun has plenty of interest from clubs across England and abroad and, although Arsenal won’t sell him cheaply, they are tempted to listen to offers.

It now will be intriguing to see if John-Jules can prove why Arsenal have seemingly backed him over Balogun in the coming years.

John-Jules has made a bright start to life at Doncaster, after scoring a belter against Charlton Athletic, and the hope is that he can continue that fine form.
