Arsenal at risk of losing Arthur Okonkwo for free with goalkeeper wanted by RB Leipzig and Celtic

RB Leipzig and Celtic are reportedly interesting in signing teenage Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo for free this summer.

The 16-year-old is highly rated by both Arsenal and England, having represented the Three Lions at Under-17 level and trained with the Gunners first team.

But Arsenal have yet to agree a contract with Okonkwo, despite offering him a scholarship plus the promise of a professional contract on his 17th birthday, according to The Mirror.
