Brilliant! Arsenal Very Close To Signing This 17-Year-Old Wonder Kid

French player Bilal Boutobba may be the next signing for the gunners. The 17 -year-old player current plays for Ligue 1 club Marseille and also for France international Under 17 football team.

The 17 -year-old made his Ligue debut on 14 December 2014 against AS Monaco, however as of now he has made only 3 appearances and has played a grand total of 25 minutes this season for Marseilles. Although there is a lot to improve, the Boutobba is often compared to the likes of Zinedine Zidane.

Boutobba has reportedly refused to sign a new deal with Marseille as he wants to join Arsenal next season. While Arsenal are on an uncertain situation considering Theo Walcott, whom they may show the door soon and neither is Joel Campbell a favored choice at the Emirates Stadium, Boutobba may have a chance to play with the club.

While the player is still on the roads to develop further, he is not a solution to Arsenal’s attacking midfielder issues, not to mention it is the player interested in playing for the Gunners, without any concrete news of Arsenal returning the interest.
