Arsenal very close to signing Greek wonderkid

Arsenal are very close to signing Greek wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas this summer, according to AMNA.

The 17-year-old is considered as one of the best emerging talents in Europe and he has caught the eye of several elite clubs.

Arsenal are one of his main admirers and reports claim that the Gunners are in advanced discussions with Genk for a transfer.

The Gunners are ready to finalise a package of around €45 million including add-ons for the 17-year-old attacking midfielder.

Karetsas is likely to continue with Genk on loan next term, given UK clubs can't register Under-18 foreign players due to Brexit rules.

Arsenal are expected to make plenty of signings to bolster the first-team squad, but they are also aiming to add emerging talents.

Karetsas has the potential to become an elite playmaker and Arsenal seem determined to secure an early deal to avoid missing out on him.

Manchester United have also been linked with the teenager.
