'Arsenal move didn't appeal' - Boadu happy with Gunners snub

The 17-year-old forward had the opportunity to head for Emirates Stadium in 2016 but decided his ongoing development would be better served at AZ

AZ striker Myron Boadu is happy with his decision to snub a switch to Arsenal, with the 17-year-old admitting a move to Emirates Stadium “did not appeal”.

The talented teenager gave plenty of thought to a transfer back in 2016, with the Gunners making their interest known.

Arsenal are forever in the market for exciting players with bags of potential, with that recruitment philosophy having served Arsene Wenger well during his iconic reign in north London.
