Arsenal have some of the brightest young talents in world football on their books right now.

Bukayo Saka is a world-class player at the age of just 23, while Ethan Nwaneri looks to be a special talent too.

Myles Lewis-Skelly is making waves at first-team level this year, while Jack Porter has been tipped for big things too.

Arsenal are now looking at another incredibly bright young teenage talent.

Indeed, Arsenal are scouring the market for young stars once again, and according to The Mail, Arsenal have their eyes on a young goalie from Turkey.

Arsenal looking at Deniz Donmezer

According to The Mail, Arsenal are monitoring young goalkeeper Deniz Donmezer.

You’d be forgiven for not knowing much about Donmezer at this point in his career.

Indeed, Donmezer is just 16 years old, and he’s been playing in Turkey.

However, this young man does seem like a top prospect.

Donmezer made his senior debut for Adana Demirspor at the age of just 15, and he’s cemented himself as their number one this season, making 11 league appearances already.

Unfortunately, Donmezer hasn’t done the best of jobs in terms of keeping the ball out of the net.

However, any goalkeeper starting on a weekly basis at the age of 16 is worth keeping an eye on, and Arsenal could look to bring the teenager to the Emirates before too long.

Arsenal’s young goalkeeping options

Donmezer does look to be a talent, but there is a question to ask about whether or not Arsenal do need another young goalkeeper.

Indeed, Arsenal already have plenty of young goalkeepers on their books who are ready to develop as they go forwards.

Now, there is an argument to make that Arsenal do need a new backup goalkeeper.

Neto hasn’t been impressing in training as of late, and his loan deal is up in the summer in any case.

Arsenal have been linked with Joan Garcia on that front, so perhaps the Gunners should look at revisiting that deal.

Signing a fifth goalkeeper who could be considered an exciting future prospect does seem to be overkill, but it would appear as though Arsenal do have their eyes on Donmezer.

This is certainly a situation to keep an eye on in the coming days before the end of the transfer window.
