Arsenal offer trial to Danish wonderkid as Edu faces Man City and Real Madrid transfer battle

FC Copenhagen wonderkid Tristan Panduro is said to currently be enjoying a trial with Arsenal.

The 15-year-old, who has already represented Denmark's Under-16, plays as a central midfielder and is expected to imminently seek pastures new regarding his footballing endeavours away from Scandinavia. Manchester City, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Benfica are all said to be interested in the player but it is the Gunners who have acted first.

Still eligible to represent England at international level, it is thought the FA are already aware of the teenager's talent and are continuing to talk to his representatives in a situation which is not too different from that of fellow Arsenal starlet Chido Obi-Martin.

Following Arsenal's recent UEFA Champions League clash against PSV earlier this month, boss Arteta faced plenty of scrutiny from supporters for not choosing to play any of the club's Hale End academy graduates. Lino Sousa, Ethan Nwaneri and Reuell Walters all remained as unused substitutes.

Stating after the game he felt the situation was not the right one to chuck them into given the Dutch side's formidable home record over the past two years, fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, piled criticism on Arteta and some of that spilt over seemingly given the news of Panduro's trial.
