The
latest reports from Telegraph claim
that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has sent the scouting team to watch the
player’s progress ahead of his summer move to Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal
have already signed Carl Jenkinson from Charlton and also sent Francis Coquelin
on loan to them in the past. The relationship between these sides is good
enough and the Gunners could sign the teenager easily, he might be sent back to Charlton on a loan deal.
Gomez
has featured for England under 19 and was a part of UEFA under 17 team of the
tournament.
The
player has been tipped as a big star in the future if he chooses the right club
where he can play enough to develop himself as a big star. Arsenal would be a
great club, considering the long term plan.
