Arsenal battle it out with European giants for 19-year-old forward (video)

Arsenal have a huge summer ahead. Get their signings right with the £70m they suppoesdly have in the kitty then a challenge for the Premier League title could be well and truly on. Get it wrong and we will be  forced to listen to the tiresome Wenger out brigade in full force and how the Gunners fans are the worst in the country blah blah blah.

According to the Express, Arsenal are one of three Premier League clubs looking to secure a deal for highly rated Barcelona youngster Gerard Deulofeu in the coming weeks. The 19-year-old forward is seen as one of the most promising prospects in La Liga and has had a £29m release clause slipped into his contract to repel any interest.

Where there is a will there is a way, Rodders.

Liverpool and Tottenham are the other potential clubs in the English topflight and Borussia Dortmund are also keeping an eye on proceedings from their throne at the Westfalenstadion.

BVB have already lost playmaker Mario Gotze to German rivals Bayern Munich and it looking likely that Robert Lewandowski is also on his way out, so they are desperate to bolster their attacking options for next year's campaign.

Will the Premier League get one over the Bundesliga by snatching this starlet? Probably not...
