Arsenal keeping tabs on Liverpool academy starlet Joshua Abe over a potential move | OneFootball

Arsenal are keeping tabs on Liverpool academy winger Joshua Abe over a potential move, according to the Daily Mail.

Arsenal have 15-year-old Max Dowman in their first-team squad and are looking to strengthen their youth ranks further.

Abe is also 15 but has played for Liverpool under-18s and under-21s, and several top clubs are monitoring his situation as he is yet to sign scholarship terms.

Arsenal could have an upper hand in the race, as Abe’s father is a lifelong Gunners fan, which could influence any move.

Liverpool are facing a fight to keep one of the most exciting talents on the club’s books, with Chelsea also keen on the teenage sensation.

He has been praised for being ‘extremely fast’ and described as ‘the best of his age group’ across the country.

The England youth international still has a long way to go to become a top footballer at professional level, given the gulf between age-grade and senior team football.

However, he could be playing Premier League football very soon if he continues to develop at this rate.

Abe will be hoping to get assurances of a clear pathway to facilitate his development before deciding on his immediate future.

Arsenal gave Dowman, Andre Harriman-Annous, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly their senior team debuts as teenagers, which would tempt the Liverpool starlet.

Abe is not short of suitors, and Arsenal will have to be very convincing to have a chance of signing him.
