Arsenal 'target' Rangers academy standout after Spain scouting mission (Image: PA)
ARSENAL are reportedly leading the race to sign Rangers academy kid Jack Wylie.
It's been said that the Premier League giants have been watching the 15-year-old for several months.
The Daily Record report that the Gunners sent chief youth scout Lee Herron to watch Wylie while he was on Scotland under-16 action in Spain last month.
As he's under 16, Wylie cannot sign professional terms until his birthday, which is in January next year.
And this report states that Ibrox chiefs are now concerned that they will lose one of their best youth talents for peanuts.
Clubs in England have become increasingly keen on landing youth stars north of the border due to ongoing uncertainty over securing non-EU stars in the wake of Brexit.
