Arsenal are working on a deal to sign highly rated West Ham United prodigy Isaac Allen.

The 15-year-old midfielder is set to leave the Hammers’ academy this summer, sparking intense interest from clubs eager to capitalise on his availability.

With exceptional technical ability, vision, and composure on the ball beyond his years, Allen has quickly been earmarked by scouts as a future Premier League star.

His rapid development has already earned him international recognition with England’s Under-15 squad, where his commanding performances have further enhanced his reputation as an elite midfield prospect.

Arsenal’s recruitment strategy under Mikel Arteta has increasingly focused on securing elite teenage prospects before their market valuations soar.

The Gunners view Allen as a perfect fit for their prestigious Hale End academy, renowned for developing youth players and integrating them directly into the first team.

Losing a player of Allen’s calibre at such a crucial stage of his development would be a significant blow for West Ham.

They have a strong track record of nurturing academy talent, but Allen’s desire for a new challenge has sparked a scramble for his signature.

While West Ham would have preferred to tie him down to a long-term scholarship, they are now looking to maximise the training compensation they receive.
