Arsenal check up on Leicester starlet Liam Moore
Arsenal have joined Manchester United in the race
for Leicester City teenager Liam Moore, after sending scouts to watch him over
the weekend.
The 19-year-old, who is widely regarded as one of
the best young defenders outside of the top flight, has made a firm assault on
the Leicester first-team this season, having impressed whilst on-loan at
Bradford City last year.
The Gunners had representatives at Saturday’s 1-0
win over Blackpool, where Moore collected a clean sheet and turned in a
promising display.
It is understood that Leicester value Moore at
around £5 million, and would be willing to do business in January.

Having spent large sums on three established
stars this summer Arsene Wenger appears to be back to his usual transfer policy
of looking to unearth talents that are as yet relatively unknown.
The Gunners boss has brought in a number of
players from the lower leagues in recent seasons with the likes of Theo
Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey and Carl Jenkinson all then
becoming first team regulars.
The Leicester City teenager spent half of last
term on loan at Bradford City and impressed sufficiently to force his way into
the King Power Stadium side’s first team set-up. The former England under 17
international has subsequently started all four of the club’s league matches
this term and is a player Nigel Pearson will look to keep hold of when the
transfer window re-opens in January, though this source believes offers of
around £5m will be considered.
