Arsenal are ready to pip rivals to the signing of 16-year-old Feyenoord midfielder Lamare Bogarde according to Football Insider.
Star arrivals are unlikely to be purchased this simmer with the Gunners hierarchy hoping Mikel Arteta can improve players on the training ground.
Arsenal's arch rivals Tottenham are also believed to be in the running but their funds are also limited.
Bogarde is likely to be relatively cheap which makes the deal an attractive propositon for both clubs amid financial uncertainity during the coronavirus crisis.
Bogarde has played 19 games for Feyenoord's U17's this season in midfield but can also play in central defence.
