Steven Gerrard’s Rangers and Arsenal are among the clubs interested in signing Abdul Abdulmalik in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.

What’s the story?

Scottish Premiership champions Rangers and Premier League club Arsenal have watched the 18-year-old forward.

Swansea City have had an approach for the Millwall teenager turned down, according to the report.

The teenager is out of contract at Millwall at the end of the month and has been offered a professional contract by the English club.

However, according to the report, Abdulmalik wants to leave Millwall this summer.

One for the future

Abdulmalik is only 18. Yes, the teenager is an exciting player, but he is not ready for first-team football for a top club yet.

Well, at least not ready to play week in and week out.

Arsenal and Rangers are massive clubs, and if the Gunners or the Gers make an offer to Abdulmalik, then it will be very tempting for him indeed.

The teenager’s next club should be one where he will develop the most and where there will be a clear pathway for him to break into the senior side.

It is very likely that Abdulmalik will be part of the youth team whichever club he goes to next.
