Manchester United’s highly-rated Omari Forson is set to sign a professional contract.
The 15-year-old midfielder, deemed one of the country’s brightest prospects, joined United from Tottenham last year.
Forson has gone on to impress while starring for the club’s Under-16 and Under-18 teams this season.
United have moved quickly to tie down the former West Ham academy product to professional terms amid interest from Arsenal.
The Gunners have been keeping a close eye on the England Under 16 international as they restructure their academy.
But the teenager is ready to commit his future to United after performing up an age group with Neil Ryan’s Under 18s.
Forson does not turn 16 until July and his progression has caught the eye of academy bosses who are keen to retain a crop of talented youngsters.
United have had to fend off growing interest from other Premier League clubs such as Arsenal.
