One for the long term

Kavanagh is only 16 years, and he has done well for the Middlesbrough and the Republic of Ireland youth teams.

It is clear that the teenager is being reportedly targeted by Chelsea and Arsenal for the long term.

It will be interesting to see what the youngster decides in terms of his future.

Kavanagh should pick the club that would enable his progress and development the most, and he should not rush into any decision quickly.
