Transfer: Arsenal to sign Elijah Upson

Arsenal are interested in signing Elijah Upson after he decided to leave Tottenham Hotspur, The Athletic reports.

Upson has turned down a pro deal and will leave Tottenham at the end of the month when his scholarship terms expire.

The 18-year-old centre-back is the son of former Arsenal defender Matthew Upson.

Arsenal is one of those tracking the youngster, who is understood to be attracting interest from several other clubs.

The Premier League North London club is keen to bolster its academy sides this summer by recruiting young talent.

However, it’s yet to be seen if Upson will end up joining Arsenal this summer.

Upson has been part of the Tottenham Under-18 side for the past two seasons.

He played in Premier League 2, U18 Premier League, UEFA Youth League, FA Youth Cup and the EFL Trophy.
