The Gunners are known for going under the radar and signing some hidden gems.

Reports in the British and German media claim that Arsenal are linked with surprise move for Nordsjaelland prodigy Zidan Sertdemir. He has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

The 16-year-old has been touted as one of the brightest young prospects in Denmark.

Sertdemir has represented Denmark at Under-16 level, winning two caps and scoring one goal.

Arsenal are looking to sign a midfielder and have identified the 16-year-old as potential transfer target.

Mikel Arteta has always been a manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented young players across the globe.

The Gunners will have funds to spend in the market and it will be interesting to see how they approach the summer transfer window.

Zidan Sertdemir has the talent to play many roles in midfield and attack.

According to the report, “Danish wonderkid Zidan Sertdemir is a target for Arsenal. Sertdemir is one of the hottest prospects in Danish football, having made a big impression for Nordsjaelland’s U19 side. The 16-year-old central midfielder stepped up from the club’s youth team at the start of this season, and has been attracting admiring glances from some of Europe’s top clubs. And the Gunners are among the clubs chasing his signature, says BILD. But Arsenal will face plenty of competition, especially from within the Bundesliga.”

FC Nordsjaelland are not in a position where they need to sell and would like to keep hold of the midfielder, but right offer may force the club to consider a deal.

Good signing for Arsenal?

It is smart from the club to invest in younger players, rather than splashing out big money on experienced players with no resale value.

Of course, the 16-year-old is not going to become a regular for Arsenal straightaway, but working under Mikel Arteta would make him a better player.

Given Sertdemir’s talent and potential, he would be a very good signing for Arsenal in the long run.

Arsenal should do everything in their power to sign the in-demand Sertdemir, who has all the qualities to be a success at the club.
