Arsenal are hoping to beat Manchester United to the signing of 16-year-old Feyenoord prospect Joshua Zirkzee.

The Holland U16 striker scored 33 goals in 27 games last season and Ajax have already failed in an attempt to lure him to their academy.

Feyenoord want to promote him to their U19s next season but he is considering a move to England with Arsenal and United keen to take him.
