Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing talented young German defender David Odogu from VfL Wolfsburg.
A report from Daily Mail has claimed that Arsenal will compete with Chelsea for 17-year-old German defender David Odogu.
David Odogu in Demand
Odogu is highly rated by Wolfsburg, and he could develop into a key player for them in the near future. The 17-year-old is a talented young player with immense potential, and he could be a long-term investment for Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal and Chelsea have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players, and they have a proven track record when it comes to grooming young talents. They could help the 17-year-old develop further and fulfil his top-class potential.
However, the German club have no plans to let him leave anytime soon. They are hoping to agree on a new professional contract with the player when he turns 18 in June. It will be interesting to see if David Odogu is keen on moving away from the German club.
Arsenal, Chelsea Vying for Odogu
The opportunity to play for Arsenal and Chelsea can be hard to turn down for most players. It would be a major step up in his career. They are two of the biggest clubs in the world and they could provide the 17-year-old with the platform to showcase his qualities at a high level. Regular football in England could accelerate his development as well.
However, the 17-year-old must seek game-time assurances before joining the two Premier League clubs. He cannot afford to sit on the bench at a big club at this stage of his career. He will need to play regularly to fulfil his tremendous potential. Both Arsenal and Chelsea need defensive reinforcements in the long run, and the 17-year-old would be a solid long-term investment.
If they can secure his services for a reasonable price in the coming months, it would be a superb bit of business for either club. The 17-year-old could end up saving them millions in the transfer market if he manages to adapt to English football and fulfil his potential potential with them.
