YOUNG GUN
Jordi Osei-Tutu: After Hector Bellerin’s injury, Unai Emery pulled the plug on the promising Arsenal right back moving.
The promising youngster was eyed up by clubs in Germany, France and the MLS in the January transfer window, but the Gunners aren’t interested in releasing their defensive starlet.
AFTER years of under-performing, Arsenal’s academy is producing some seriously good talent.
And it seems a golden generation could soon be celebrated by the club’s fans.
Emile Smith Rowe, Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah have already made their mark for the senior team.
But scouts from other clubs are flocking to Arsenal’s under-23s games to watch Xavier Amaechi, Tyreece John-Jules and also Jordi Osei-Tutu, and there is some real excitement around the club.
Right-back Osei-Tutu is a regular for the under-23s and was wanted in the January transfer window by clubs in Germany, France and also MLS in the United States for a loan move.
Due to Hector Bellerin’s injury, Unai Emery put a block on any switch even though he has yet to feature for the senior team.
Osei-Tutu, 20, moved to Arsenal in 2015 after being signed from Reading’s academy for a fee of around £100,000.
