Arsenal to nab Ipswich Town youngster Dylan Crowe?

Arsenal are reportedly leading Premier League rivals Manchester United in the race to sign teenage defender Dylan Crowe from Ipswich Town.

The 17-year-old is understood to be in high demand among top-flight clubs, despite the fact that he has yet to make his senior debut for the Tractor Boys.

Crowe emerged as a rumoured target for United during the summer and, according to The Mirror, he is now on Arsenal's radar ahead of the winter window.

A couple of foreign clubs are also said to be keeping tabs on the England age-grade international, with Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig keen to add more British talent to their ranks.

However, Arsenal are considered the frontrunners to land right-back Crowe, who helped his national side reach the semi-finals of the European U17 Championships earlier this year.
