London club Arsenal have entered the fray for 15-year-old attacking talent Jay-Jay Gabriel from Manchester United's academy, according to reports from football.london.
The young forward has officially informed the Manchester hierarchy of his firm intention to leave the club. Manchester United have stated that they cannot annul Gabriel's registration until the end of the current season and are hoping to persuade the wonderkid to stay put.
Nearly all of Europe’s top clubs are monitoring this unfolding saga, with interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Chelsea in the budding star.
Arsenal are launching an extensive campaign to attract the finest young talents to their academy. Earlier this year, the Gunners made an attempt to lure the duo of James Scanlon and Habib Oguneye away from Manchester United.
If Arsenal can manage to snatch Jay-Jay Gabriel, it would serve as a significant comeback after the recent departures of Chido Obi and Aiden Haven to the Red Devils. However, the chances of Mikel Arteta's side triumphing in this fierce competition remain uncertain.
