Arsenal have reportedly identified Leeds United youngster Jack Clarke as a potential signing.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has provided the 18-year-old with 579 minutes of football in the Championship this season, with two goals coming from three starts and 11 substitute outings.
However, the emergence of the teenager has led to strong interest from the Premier League, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur said to be monitoring Clarke's progress.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are ready to join the race for the prospect's signature and may make a move during the summer window.
Clarke's representative Ian Harte - formerly of Leeds - has already indicated that the player will remain at Elland Road at least until the end of the season.
The Yorkshire giants also remain in a strong position, with Clarke still having two-and-a-half years left on his contract.
