The
North London outfits who are fighting for the Champions League spot will now
also fight to secure the teenager’s deal.
The
18-year-old is a versatile player, can be used in variety of midfield
positions.
Kennedy
is currently impressing in the League Two, he has scored three goals in ten
games for Stevenage so far this season.
The
Northern Irish midfielder has been tipped as a future star and the reports believe
that Arsene Wenger is likely to win the race.
Arsenal
scouts have been keeping tabs on him in the past few games.
The
Gunners have a good history of developing teenagers under the French boss Arsene
Wenger and it could be a positive point which might lead Kennedy to join the
Emirates side.
However,
Spurs have also started to do the same under new boss Mauricio Pochettino who
has been giving opportunities to youngsters. Harry Kane is one of its example.
Dele
Alli and DeAndre Yedlin are also in the queue to get a chance at White Hart
Lane.Columnist: Dany Fendi
