Arsenal youngster Kido Taylor-Hart is a player in demand, according to The Sun.

The British tabloid has claimed that clubs in the Premier League, Bundesliga, the Netherlands and Belgium are monitoring the Arsenal teenager.

The 18-year-old’s scholarship runs out this summer, and although Arsenal have offered him a professional contract, the winger has yet to accept it and could still leave in the coming weeks, according to the report.

The report has added that Arsenal are worried that fans will be in uproar if they are unable to keep hold of the highly-rated youngster.

Taylor-Hart has been doing well for the Arsenal youth teams. As covered by HITC Sport on multiple occasions, fans of the North London club really like him and want him to be part of the future at the club.

It would make sense for Arsenal to keep hold of the winger. True, the teenager may not be ready to step up to the first team yet, but given his talent and reported interest in him, it is clear that he has a bright future.

The likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe have shown that there is a pathway for youngsters into the Arsenal first team.

Taylor-Hart needs to work hard, like he does, and his time will come.
