Arsenal show interest in Czech teenage sensation according to Ornstein

According to The Athletic journalists David Ornstein and James McNicholas, Arsenal are “big admirers” of Sparta Prague attacker Adam Hlozek.

With Eddie Nketiah’s future uncertain, the two reporters believe the Gunners seek a “second striker,” and Hlozek has been suggested as a possible alternative.

The 19-year-old has had a fantastic season for Sparta Prague, scoring 12 goals and providing 15 assists in 47 appearances, but Arsenal may fight with their hands to sign him.

Bayer Leverkusen is said to have a “strong interest” in Hlozek, and Mikel Arteta’s side could be beaten to the punch because Nketiah has yet to sign a new contract.

Hlozek has previously been linked with a transfer to the Premier League. Over the last eighteen months, West Ham and Liverpool have been linked with teenagers.
