According to The Mirror, Arsenal are in the race to sign Wigan Athletic striker Kyle Joseph at the end of the season.
It’s claimed that the Gunners have fancied Joseph for some time, and could launch a move to sign him this summer.
Joseph was born in London, so that could help Arsenal’s cause – but they’re far from alone in the race to sign the striker.
Celtic and Rangers are also keen on Joseph, who represents Scotland at youth level, which may make a move to Scotland appealing.
The Sun reported last month that Tottenham Hotspur also want to sign the 19-year-old, meaning a North London battle may ensue.
Joseph has hit five goals in 14 League One games this season, whilst also picking up an assist in an impressive campaign.
Arsenal could lose a young striker this summer in Folarin Balogun, and Joseph may be eyed up as a potential replacement – or another young star to add alongside Balogun and Nikolaj Moller.
Tottenham do though have another Wigan prospect in Alfie Devine, so this battle for the teenage goalscorer could ramp up this summer.
