LEAKED: Arsenal set to COMPLETE the Signing of young defender

Arsenal Transfer News: According to Football Insider, the two clubs with the most interest in Makhaya James, a teenage phenomenon for Colchester United, are Arsenal and Celtic. The 17-year-old has been impressive for the club at the youth level. Thus, drawing attention from several of the best teams in the world.

Arsenal’s recent slump of nine points in four games has allowed Manchester City to close the gap and claim a championship that was previously within reach. However, even if this unanticipated run for the crown falls short, there will be a great deal of regret.

The Gunners shouldn’t be too hard on themselves. They have made great strides despite being the youngest side in the Premier League. They have done a fantastic job of recruiting if they are already in contention for the championship.

Recently, the Gunners are finding players who can fit in Mikel Arteta’s system. This has been a major factor in their success over the previous several seasons. The club has made transfer masterstroke after transfer masterstroke, skillfully rebuilding and upgrading the roster in record time.

To prepare for Champions League play, though, the club has to bolster both its senior and junior teams in the forthcoming summer transfer window. Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar are always scouting the competition, and recent rumours have linked them to players like Vitor Roque and Ivan Fresneda. And it appears that the Gunners have their sights set on Makhaya James, a highly regarded left-back currently playing for Colchester United.

Although he has yet to play for Colchester’s first team, it is clear that James is a highly sought-after talent among scouts across the UK. After excelling as a Kinetic Academy student, James received a two-year scholarship to attend the U’s that summer of 2022. According to the source, he has also played senior football for Glebe FC, a non-league team, in the 2021–22 season.

Arsenal are among the clubs keeping an eye on James. They are considered the favourites to sign him before the summer when several other clubs are expected to make a move for him. Colchester United, who are expecting bids for the defender, are now waiting to see who comes out on top.
