Belgium wonderkid set for summer-long Arsenal pursuit?

Arsenal are interested in signing Anderlecht wonderkid Jason Eyenga-Lokilo, according to reports in Belgium.

The 15-year-old is said to be the latest young Belgian talent to emerge through the Anderlecht youth system, and the attacking midfielder is being tracked by a host of clubs.

But Benefoot claims Arsenal have jumped to the head of the queue for his signature, with club representatives tracking his progress for up to two years and members of the youth system keen that he travels to England for a trial before signing a deal.

They face stiff competition from Aston Villa, who have reportedly already made two official offers for the player, while Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon are all credited with an interest.

But Arsenal are leading the chase for a player who must decide if he will follow fellow Anerlecht youth system product Adnan Januzaj to England.
