Manchester United have reportedly reached the finish line first in the race for Arsenal youth product Ayden Heaven.
The Red Devils have been pursuing the 18-year-old for months, as he’s widely considered one of the most promising young talents on English shores. He initially started his career at West Ham United before joining Arsenal’s academy in 2019 at the tender age of 13.
But while the Gunners have been desperate to tie down the defender with a professional contract after celebrating his 18th birthday in September, Man Utd have managed to sway him north, confirms Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano who stamped the operation with his trademark ‘here we go’ stamp, signalling that the operation is now imminent.
The famous transfer market insider explains how the Red Devils managed to overcome competition from his current club Arsenal as well as Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt who were also on the player’s trail.
“Ayden Heaven to Manchester United, here we go!” posted Romano on his Twitter account. “Exclusive story from last week confirmed as 18-year-old centre back’s set to leave Arsenal and join Man Utd.
“Medical booked after he rejected new deal from Arsenal and Eintracht approaches. Agreement being formally sealed.”
