Arsenal chasing young Leicester defender by AM
Arsenal have joined the race to sign talented young defender Liam Moore from Leicester City according to Metro. Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Manchester United have already been tracking the youngster’s progress for some time now. But now United and Arsenal are considered to be favorites to land the 19 year old defender.
Moore, who shares his first name with an Arsenal legend Liam Brady, is a versatile player. He can play both as a central defender and as a right back. Arsenal do have some young defenders coming through their ranks with the likes of Miguel and Hector Bellerin (Who featured in Arsenal’s group match against Marseille in the NextGen series). Moore would certainly add to that list, as he is considered to be one of the most talented youngsters who is plying his trade outside the premier league.
The England U-17 international came in prominence last season with his brilliant performances while he was at loan to Bradford City. This season, Liam has already made it into the first team and starting XI at Leicester.
Arsenal and Manchester United scouts were present in the recently concluded match between Leicester City and Blackpool, which Leicester won 1-0. Nigel Pearson, the Leicester manager, knows that he won’t be able to keep hold of Moore for too long before one of the big boys comes in with a bid. He will only hope that a bidding war between United and Arsenal can raise the transfer fee, which is expected to be around £5million.
