wenger 408According to reports in Belgium, Arsenal are interested in signing Anderlecht starlet Jason Eyenga-Lokilo.

The 15-year-old attacking midfielder is thought to be the latest Belgian talent to emerge from the Anderlecht youth system, and is being tracked by a number of clubs from across Europe.

However, Belgian publication Benefoot.net claims Arsenal are frontrunners for the youngster’s signature, with the Gunners tracking his progress for the past two years and want Eyenga-Lokilo to travel to England for a trial before committing his future to Anderlecht.

Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon are all said to be tracking the Belgian.

But despite a large amount of interest being shown in Eyenga-Lokilo, the teenager must now decide if he wants to continue plying his trade at Anderlecht or follow in the footsteps in former youth system product Adnan Januzaj to England.

Arsene Wenger is renowned for scouring the globe for young talent and it wouldn’t be surprising if he is able to land Eyenga-Lokilo.
