[macbeth]

we're being linked with 18 year old arsenal forward khayon edwards, who's scored 17 goals from 22 appearances in the arsenal academy this season and is yet to sign his first pro deal

here's what we could be getting:

links obviously very tentative at this stage, and lots of european competition, and chelsea too, but i considered it worthy of a thread as it's a very 'us' signing to make

Scoring record-wise on about a par with our Zak Emmerson then.

A very us kind of signing, hope it comes off.

Dont think it will happen... seems pretty pointless to bring in another youth striker but I trust that the club knows what it is doing.

Why? Do you think that in 3 or 4 years time we’ll be so inundated with top strikers that we won’t need another breaking through?

Yep. Emmerson has 16 goals from 19 apps in the u18s . Edwards has 16 in 16. Edwards is also about 11 months older . Emmerson is not 18 until August.

Almost like we have a plan

What a time to be an Albion supporter

Pretty obvious that we're not a "put all eggs in one basket" type of club

This news surprises me. Why would Arsenal let one of their brightest prospects go when - striker-wise - Nketiah is out of contract and likely to leave, Balogun has hardly pulled up trees at Boro, and there will be a vacancy in the Prem squad if - as seems likely - they let Lacazette go?

Meanwhile, we have Undav incoming, with Ferguson and Emmerson showing real promise too.

Maybe it surprises you because it isn't actually news

Don't think Arsenal have any choice about 'letting him go' - he's 18 and hasn't signed a pro contract, so presumably he can sign for anyone he likes.
