Chelsea, City and Arsenal battle for talented youngster

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are all keen on signing Real Madrid teenager Jose Angel Pozo.

Arsenal have already reportedly agreed a deal for one Madrid youngster and are keen on adding Pozo to their youth ranks too. However, the Gunners will face competition from Chelsea and Manchester City who have also been tracking the progress of the 15-year-old.

All three Premier League sides have the ability to sign Pozo on a professional contract, something which Spanish clubs are unable to do until their players are 18.

The most famous example of an English club taking advantage of this ruling was when Arsenal signed a 16-year-old Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona.

Real Madrid would be due around £500,000 in compensation from Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City if Pozo decides to move.
