Manchester United are close to completing a deal for another promising Arsenal youngster in Ayden Heaven.

United signed striker Chido Obi-Martin from the Gunners in October and the 17-year-old has already impressed in the club's FA Youth Cup campaign.

Now the Old Trafford outfit are expecting to successfully conclude negotiations with 18-year-old central defender Heaven, who made his senior debut as a substitute in an EFL Cup win at Preston.

Although Arsenal do not want to lose Heaven, the London-born player knows the path to regular first team exposure is blocked as Mikel Arteta has a number of senior defenders who are all performing well.
