Gorka Zabarte Moreno. Heard of him? Thought not. Moreno is a Spanish youth defender playing at Real Madrid currently, but he looks likely to come to Arsenal.
Because Moreno doesn’t turn 16 until January, under Spanish employment laws, he can’t sign a professional contract for Real…..but he can for the Gunners.
Seen as a future star by Spanish journalists, Arsenal may well be snapping up a bargain. The Daily Star has reported that the transfer is on the ‘cusp’ of going through, and talks are in an advanced stage.
There is not a lot of information on him, but we can tell you that he is currently playing in Real Madrid’s youth team and has represented his country at Under-16 level….no mean feat, we think.
Of course the Spanish youngster isn’t the answer to Arsenal’s current injury problems…..but one for the future? It would seem so.
