Arsenal youngster Arthur Okonkwo in high demand

North London club risk losing the talented goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo who has emerged as a transfer target for Celtic and RB Leipzig, according to the reports found in the Mirror.

The 16-year-old shot stopper has yet to sign a new contract with the Gunners and could end up leaving the Emirates stadium at the end of the current season for pastures greener.

The England Under-17 international is set to become a free agent in the summer and the likes of Scottish Premiership giants Celtic and German hotshots RB Leipzig have already expressed interest in grabbing him.

Okonkwo is widely regarded as a highly talented goalkeeper who’s been tipped to make a big name for himself in the future.

Arsenal are trying to keep hold of him and have already offered a scholarship with a professional contract when he turns 17 but an agreement is yet to be reached.

Celtic and RB Leipzig are monitoring the situation ready to pounce for him in the summer.
