London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal are monitoring the young player from Barcelona academy Abel Ruiz, according to media reports out of England.
The report suggests that the Blues are hoping to tempt him to Stamford Bridge and they’ve already approached his family to discuss a deal.
However, Arsenal also held talks with the striker, but Barca are set to offer him a professional contract to keep the promising forward away from the Premier League giants.
As per the Spanish publication Sport, the Spanish champions have already rejected the bid from Manchester City. That basically means the player is on demand.
According to the Sport’s Josep Capdevila the hitman is “one of the hottest prospects” coming up through the ranks in Catalonia and the growing interest coming from the big clubs is not surprise.
The transfer politics of both English giants is to collect the wonderkids from all over the world.
The Gunners can persuade Ruiz to join them having previously recruited the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Hector Bellerin from their academy.
Considering these facts, Gib Football Show concludes that the rumours claiming ‘Arsenal and Chelsea set to Lock Horns Over Transfer of Barcelona Starlet’ are ‘mostly true’
