Arsenal target young Welsh international defender
There is an interesting rumour going around that Arsene Wenger is considering a move for the Welsh U21 defender Elliot Hewitt, who despite only being 17 years of age has already appeared with the older lads.
Considering he has only made a few appearances for the League Two side Macclesfield Town, he has already been made first-choice right-back at the club and is obviously highly regarded by the Welsh international set-up.
His manager Gary Simpson has already accepted that he is going to find it very hard to hold on to the talented youngster. He said: “If there is a better right-back in the bottom two divisions as we speak I haven’t seen one.”
“He’s absolutely unbelievable to say he’s only just 17. Whether we can hang onto him I very much doubt. All the big boys are hovering.”
With his fellow Welshman Aaron Ramsey as a perfect example of what he could achieve at Arsenal, it must be hoped that he would choose the Gunners over other offers, and if he is as good as people say he is then he could be an absolute bargain at just £1.5million…..

Haven’t heard of the kid,if we bought him maybe he should be loaned straight back to macclesfield to gain more experience,jenkinson is 19 and not ready for the 1st team yet so a 17 year old is one for the futre but what does that say for the young kids we have at the club in that position?

At 1.5m it would be a real bargain albeit for the future

lewis dunk 19 of brighton would be better then this lad and draxler of schalke in attack.
but arsenal should sign Edan hazard and Samba at any cost in winter transfer.

arsene can buy his fantasy 5yr old buys as long as he clears out our wage bill with the likes of denilson, almunia,, bendtner(stuck up cu*t, doesn’t deserve an arsenal shirt) n renews contracts of our half decent players i.e. song, walcott, verma(already done, yay) n rvp who deserve 150.000+ a week n then we need to REPLACE the likes of chamakh, squillaci, djorou n diaby (very good player, but can only play 10% of a season) n buy goetze/hazard or both……….wat a dream, cahill 4 scraps, verthongen 4 10m n ANY quality striker But 4 now all is good with arsenal, hope we win 2morrow COME ON GUNNERS

@Malik, people like you are just non entity and have no knowledge of the game. I mean how could you call Song and Vermaelen half decent players? I bet you have never had a footballer in your family or among your friends, people like you shouldn’t be supporting arsenal………..ass-wipe

It a modern day thing that if you see a young player with potential you need to buy them quickly. There are million scouts out there trying to find the next superstar. if this kid is good now then AV will know how to bring him on. The thing is that £2m spent now means not spending 20M later. As for The Arsenal they have found some belief and the Bolton game is there for the taking , whatever team we put out. The acid test is against Chelsea at the weekend. If Ramares is out we Win. Simple as that. :0)

Anyone been watching David Luiz play recently??? He is a fabulous defender who can also produce special sparks to the attack whenever required. Would he be a good addition to our squad in January if available???
