Manchester United are closing in on Arsenal young star Ayden Heaven, the player is set tp complete his move to the Manchester club. According to reports, United who signed one of Arsenal’s striker Chido Obi-Martin in October is now ready to take another Arsenal academy player.
Manchester United Set to Sign Ayden Heave
Ruben Amiron and his management are expecting to successfully conclude negotiations with the 18-year-old central defender before the clsoe of the transfer window. Ayden Heave made his senior debut as a substitute in an EFL Cup win at Preston and has been impressive since then.
Although Arsenal do not want to lose Heaven, the London-born player knows the path to regular first team exposure is blocked as Mikel Arteta has a number of senior defenders who are all performing well. On the other hand, United are on a path to try and massively improve their recruitment, which has been so poor in recent times.
In addition to striker Obi-Martin, the club has also tied up a deal for Paraguay Under-20 international Diego Leon. Now they are adding Heaven to the list. It is not entirely clear whether Heaven would become part of United’s first-team squad or if he would initially work with the Premier League 2 set-up.
