Manchester United are close to finalizing a deal for Arsenal’s promising 18-year-old central defender, Ayden Heaven.
United secured striker Chido Obi-Martin from the Gunners in October, and the 17-year-old has already impressed in the club’s FA Youth Cup campaign. Now, the Red Devils are expected to conclude negotiations with Heaven, who made his senior debut as a substitute in an EFL Cup win against Preston.
While Arsenal are reluctant to lose Heaven, the London-born player understands that his chances of regular first-team action are limited, as Mikel Arteta has a solid lineup of senior defenders.
In contrast, Manchester United are focusing on improving their recruitment, which has been lacking in recent years. In addition to Obi-Martin, the club has also secured a deal for Paraguay Under-20 international Diego Leon.
It remains unclear whether Heaven will immediately join United’s first-team squad or start in the Premier League 2 setup.
