Reports are out claiming that Arsenal are stepping up their plans to make a summer move for Charlton Athletic young gun Joe Gomez.
The Daily Mirror reports that the Gunners are the frontrunners for the England U19 international who is also a target for Manchester City and Manchester United.
It is believed that Charlton are well aware of the Premier League interest and could cash in on Gomez who could be sold for around £8million.
Arsenal’s relationship with the Addicks, which was strengthened by Francis Coquelin’s successful loan earlier this season, is believed to have the north Londoners on pole position for Gomez.
