Arsenal have held talks with Hammarby over a deal for teenage star Emil Roback as they try to beat Bayern Munich to his signature.
The 16-year-old forward is being tipped for big things in Sweden and he is attracting plenty of interest.
Bayern Munich have already made contact over a move for the Sweden Under-17 international, but now Arsenal have joined the hunt.
“We were contacted and know about the interest [from Bayern]. He has also met Arsenal,” Hammarby sports director Jesper Jansson told Fotboll Direkt.
“There’s a strong interest and there are more clubs as well. He’s also been to Arsenal. Yes, I understand the interest.
“He is a forward with a great physique and speed and already a skilled goalscorer.”
Arsenal have given plenty of young players chance this season - particularly those from their academy - and it is thought that could be an attractive proposition for Roback.
