Arsenal are close to securing the services of teenage defender Brayden Clarke from Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 16-year-old is regarded as one of the best young centre-backs in the United Kingdom and he has already represented Wales at the Under-17 level.
The Gunners consider him as a top talent, as per football.london, and they appear set to land his signature on a free without any kind of compensation.
Clarke, who has made 10 appearances for Wolves’ Under-18 side this term, has already posted a goodbye message on social media without revealing his next club.
Football.london believe the Gunners appear to have won the race amid the mounting competition. Aside from Arsenal, at least three more teams tried to sign him.
