Arsenal pose major threat as they push to snatch Liverpool’s highly touted youngster hailed as “the best of his age.”
Arsenal are said to be monitoring Liverpool’s highly rated 15-year-old prospect Joshua Abe as a possible future signing.
Liverpool will be keen to keep hold of the young winger, but the Daily Mail reports that Arsenal are posing a real threat. The outlet also cites a youth football expert who describes Abe as “the best in his age group”, making him an attractive target for the Gunners as they look to strengthen their academy.
A move to Arsenal could boost Abe’s development
Abe appears to have a bright future ahead of him, and he’ll need to make a smart decision as he approaches the age where senior football becomes a realistic step.
Liverpool have seen success with academy graduates like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones, but Arsenal’s recent track record is even stronger. Under Mikel Arteta, youngsters such as Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly have flourished, and even 15-year-old Max Dowman has earned some exposure to first-team action this season.
If Abe is seeking rapid development and earlier opportunities at a top club, Arsenal could be an appealing destination.
Who is Joshua Abe?
While not yet a widely known name, Abe is highly regarded by those familiar with youth football. A skilful, two-footed winger likened to Callum Hudson-Odoi, he has already collected youth honours with Liverpool and represented England at youth level.
Abe has been part of Liverpool’s setup since joining the Under-9s, but it remains unclear whether his long-term future will remain at Anfield.
