Arsenal 'look to snap up Man Utd's 15-year-old starlet Omari Forson'

Manchester United academy starlet Omari Forson is emerging as a leading target for Arsenal's new-look recruitment team.

The 15-year-old is widely viewed as one of the best young talents in English football and will be a target for the Gunners moving forward.

United landed a real coup by securing the teenager from Tottenham's academy in January 2019.

He features regularly for United's Under-16s and has also played for the club's Under 18s - an indication of how highly he is rated at Old Trafford.

Forson, a midfielder, scored on his debut for the Under 18s against West Brom recently.

But there is a growing interest from the Gunners, partly due to a shake up of the club's academy recruitment staff.

The Gunners are hopeful of taking a number Manchester City youth scouts as part of their restructuring.

United pipped City to Forson's signature earlier this year - but the Gunners, due to the influence of their new-look academy scouting team, could be ready to tempt Forson into a return to London.
