Arsenal Are Keeping Tabs On This Borussia Dortmund Teenager: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Arsenal are keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund teenager Justin Ejodamen. It has been claimed that the Gunners are eyeing a move to acquire the services of the Italian prospect, but are facing competition from Barcelona, Juventus and AC Milan in pursuit of him.

Ejodamen’s Impressive Rise In German Football

Ejodamen has come through the youth ranks of Borussia Dortmund and has done well to establish himself as an important member of their Under-16 team. The 15-year-old made his Under-16 debut for Italy last month and has managed to catch the eye with his performances for both his club and country in youth football.

The talented teenager is currently among the most gifted central midfielders in his homeland. Hence, it is no surprise that the Gunners are hoping to land him.

Ejodamen has still not penned a professional contract with Borussia Dortmund but will be eligible to do so when he turns 16 next year. Thus, a top club like Arsenal would have a good chance of recruiting him.

Arsenal Are Keeping Tabs On Ejodamen: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Ejodamen is a good tackler of the ball and can read the danger well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually clears the danger when needed and is a tidy passer as well from midfield.

The German sensation can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has the vision to engineer some decent chances for his teammates in the final third. Ejodamen is full of energy and running at the centre of the park. However, it remains to be seen whether he can adapt to the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League if the Gunners manage to bring him on board next year.

We can expect Ejodamen to bring more quality and depth to Arsenal‘s academy. He is good enough to be a future first-team starter for the North London club.

At 15, Ejodamen has the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future, so the Gunners would be wise to get a deal done for him next year.
