Arsenal have reportedly set their sights on a deal for West Bromwich Albion youngster Reyes Cleary.
The 17-year-old has risen through the youth ranks at The Hawthorns and has enjoyed a prolific season at youth level this term, racking up 20 goals from 20 appearances in all competitions.
Cleary also made his debut for the senior team as a substitute in their FA Cup third-round defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion back in January and was on the bench for December's Championship victory over Reading.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are now interested in signing the teenage starlet following his prolific performances, but they will face stiff competition for his signature.
The report adds that Bayern Munich, Southampton, Everton and Newcastle United are also keeping a close eye on developments, with Cleary yet to respond to West Brom's offer of a professional contract.
Cleary's goals this season include 10 strikes from seven games in the Under-18 Premier League, as well as seven goals from 11 matches in the Premier League 2.
