Arsenal are facing a battle to hold onto rising strike starlet Khayon Edwards amid mounting interest from clubs in England and abroad – including London rivals Chelsea.
The Gunners are yet to agree terms on a professional contract for prolific forward Edwards, 18, who is in the final year of his scholarship deal.
Arsenal have made a number of offers in their attempts to secure Edwards’ long-term future but so far none have persuaded him to put pen-to-paper.
That has encouraged admirers of the teenager who has scored 14 times and set up six more goals in just 13 appearances at youth level for Arsenal this season.
