Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City eye Lenny Pintor as Brest starlet is lined up for Premier League switch
Young French winger making a grand impression since signing his first professional contract last summer
ARSENAL, Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly eyeing moves for French prodigy Lenny Pintor.
The 17-year-old currently plays for second-division side Brest and is a regular for France’s U17s.
Lenny impressed during the recent youth World Cup in India, with his goal against Spain a highlight.
And the winger could now be set to make the next step in his career, with the Daily Mail claiming a number of Premier League teams are chasing his signature.
Arsenal and Chelsea are said to be keeping tabs on Lenny, who is left-footed and only joined Brest on his first-ever professional contract a few months ago.
But it’s believed Manchester City are also interested and could also move for Pintor, who is yet to make a senior appearance for his new French side.
The whizkid has already been compared to compatriot and £135million Barcelona man Ousmane Dembele.
However, Pintor may feel it’s too early to move to a new country, especially after seeing Kylian Mbappe snub the likes of Real Madrid in favour of Paris Saint-Germain for that very reason.
Meanwhile, another talented teen said to be on Arsenal’s radar is Wolves left-back Ruben Vinagre.
But the Gunners face a battle to sign him, with Manchester United and Everton also reportedly keen.
