Arsenal are monitoring the situation of River Plate striker Agustin Rubertoas he can move to Europe this month when he turns 18, according to The Secret Scout. The 17-year-old recently started training with the first-team of the Primera Division club after impressing at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup last month where he won the Golden Boot. Ruberto ended the tournament with eight goals and has been attracting suitors since, including the Gunners.

Arsenal are looking to bolster their attacking ranks ahead of the second half of the Premier League campaign, and while the Argentina youth international will unlikely move straight to their senior team if signed, he has the potential to become a top star for club and country. Chelsea and Manchester City are also keeping tabs on Ruberto and the North Londoners will need to act quickly if they want to land the teenage sensation. He turns 18 tomorrow and will be eager to finally start playing first-team football having been playing for the River Plate reserve team since last year.
