According to Football.London, Premier League, Championship and Bundesliga clubs have made enquiries about signing Arsenal talent Kido Taylor-Hart.

It’s claimed that top-flight rivals want to sign Taylor-Hart, whilst Bundesliga clubs are keen as they attempt to find the next Jadon Sancho.

Championship clubs are also interested in handing Taylor-Hart the chance to play first-team football, with Arsenal now fighting to keep hold of him.

The 18-year-old has yet to sign a professional deal with Arsenal, but he has been impressing coaches with his ‘tactical nous’ at such a young age.

Primarily a left-sided winger, Taylor-Hart is a boyhood Arsenal fan who has come up through the ranks with the Gunners, and he’s made a great start to this season.

Taylor-Hart has notched one goal and two assists in five games for Arsenal’s Under-18’s, earning admiring glances off the back of those displays.

Arsenal will no doubt be the teenager’s focus given his love for the club, but this new interest does mean the Gunners run the risk of losing him – and a number of young talents have moved on in recent times.

Serge Gnabry, Donyell Malen, Ismael Bennacer, Josh Dasilva and now Yunus Musah have enjoyed success elsewhere, so Arsenal won’t want Taylor-Hart to be a similar case.

With Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock in and around the Arsenal first team, there is inspiration for Taylor-Hart, but the Gunners must now fight to keep him.
