According to The Mail, the Gunners, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all scouting the promising youngster, who has represented both England and Wales, captaining the latter, at youth international level.

The family connection obviously works in Arsenal’s favour in regards to sealing a transfer for Ampadu junior, but Wales Online claim the presence of fellow Welsh prodigy Regan Poole could see him move to Old Trafford instead.

Should the youngster decide to leave Exeter City for a Premier League academy, the League Two outfit, who are currently midtable, will be entitled to a compensation fee.
