Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly in a fierce competition to secure the signature of a 15-year-old prodigy.

The North London rivals are eager to bring him to the Premier League without any transfer fee. Francesco Camarda has emerged as one of the most sought-after talents in Italian football this season.

Despite being four years younger than his teammates, the forward has showcased remarkable skills, scoring 12 goals in 29 appearances for AC Milan's under-19 squad.

Camarda's exceptional performances have earned him opportunities in AC Milan's senior team.

He made his debut as a substitute in a 1-0 victory against Fiorentina in November, becoming the youngest player ever to feature in Serie A at just 15 years and 260 days old. He followed up with another appearance off the bench in a 3-1 win over Frosinone.

With interest pouring in from top clubs across Europe, AC Milan had aimed to secure Camarda with a long-term contract.

However, negotiations for the deal, which can only be finalised once he turns 16, have reportedly been delayed. Milan had prepared a three-year contract for him to sign in June.

Now, AC Milan faces the risk of losing their promising academy graduate as Premier League powerhouses Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City plot to swoop in.

According to Corriere dello Sport, all three clubs have deployed scouts to closely monitor Camarda's progress and have inquired about potential deals. Inter Milan, AC Milan's bitter rivals, are also reportedly keen on the young talent.
