Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Fulham youngster Ibane Bowat over a move to the club.
The 18-year-old has been a key player for Fulham's Under-18s side during the 2020-21 campaign, making 11 league appearances, while he also played a leading role in the team's league success last term.
According to TEAMtalk, a number of Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, are currently in discussions with the centre-back over a possible switch at the end of the season.
The report claims that West Ham United, Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion are also in the hunt, but Scott Parker's side remain hopeful of convincing him to sign a professional contract.
Bowat, who has recently been promoted to Fulham's Under-23s squad, is also said to have been a target for FC Koln, but a potential move to the Bundesliga outfit broke down.
The teenager's existing scholarship contract at Craven Cottage is due to expire at the end of June.
