Man United 'set to sign Arsenal wonderkid' as Gunners prepare to lose ANOTHER academy star to Red Devils, months after Chido Obi-Martin exit

Manchester United are reportedly closing in on the signing of Arsenal wonderkid Ayden Heaven.

Heaven, 18, is touted as one of the Gunners' brightest academy prospects having risen through the club's youth ranks.

However, the central defender is out of contract at the end of the season and Mail Sport reported last week how Arsenal were trying to convince Heaven to sign a new contract amid an enquiry from United.

Heaven has made just one competitive first-team appearance for the Gunners - a cameo against Preston in the Carabao Cup - but he has regularly been involved in first team training.
