Steven Gerrard’s cousin Bobby Duncan being chased by Arsenal as young star seeks more first-team football
Man City youngster scored winner for England Under-17s when they played Portugal this week, as Gunners scouts watched
ARSENAL are chasing Steven Gerrard's cousin Bobby Duncan as the youngster seeks more first-team football.
The Manchester City youngster, 16, scored winner for England Under-17s when they played Portugal this week... as Gunners scouts watched.
Duncan also training with the Three Lions' Under-20s during this international break.
A host of Premier League giants are said to be interested in bringing Liverpool legend Gerrard's cousin to their club.
But as things stand, Arsenal lead the race to poach City's latest young star.
Man City have already lost one of their best youngsters this year, in Jadon Sancho.
The Under-17 World Cup-winning star joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer - as he felt he'd get more game-time at the Bundesliga giants.
Duncan has been on the horizon of many top clubs since he burst onto the scene with England's Under-16s last year.

The youngster scored a tremendous hat-trick against Brazil - the first treble of any Englishman against any Brazilian team in history.
On his 2016 feat, Duncan claimed: “My dad used to give me a DVD to go and watch in the car and it had all of Steven’s goals on it.

“I used to watch that over and over again thinking ‘one day that could be me’.
"I’ve always looked up to Steven. I’m related to him and like me he’s a local kid from Huyton.
“Steven’s been a big influence. What he achieved in his career inspires me. He always had that hunger and desire to win trophies.
"As well as talent, it was his attitude, character and leadership that made him the player he was.
“I’ve always tried to learn from him and when he messaged me after the hat-trick that meant a lot.”
