Arsenal’s recruitment gets a lot of praise these days, and while their big signings have been paying off as of late, we should also give a special mention to their youth recruitment network.
The likes of Lino Sousa and Mika Biereth signed in recent years look like they could be stars of the future, and now, it sounds as though the Gunners could be on the trail of another very promising young player.
Indeed, according to Steve Kay, speaking on KS1TV, Arsenal have their sights set on Tristan Panduro, a Danish teenager who appears to have bags of potential.
According to Kay, Panduro has been on trial at Arsenal recently, and he’s supposedly really impressed the staff down at Hale End.

Panduro has impressed Arsenal
Kay shared what he knows about the teenager.
“Tristan Panduro. They call him the Danish wonderkid. He’s playing at the moment for FC Copenhagen. Arsenal have been out there many times to watch him, and Mikel Arteta decided to bring him over for a trial, what I’m told is he’s impressed a lot, and he was in the stadium at the weekend for the win against Brighton, so yeah, a midfielder, very versatile, he’s an all-rounder, as he gets older he’ll get a set position, but at the moment he’s doing a lot. A Danish wonderkid, he’s at Arsenal on trial, he’s been watched by Barcelona, Real Madrid and Man City, all the biggest clubs, in the world. He wants to play in the Premier League, so one for the future there,” Kay said.
One to watch
Of course, it’s incredibly early days for Panduro, but, by the sound of things, he’s one to watch going forwards.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but if Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City are all having a look at you, you must have something special about you.
It’s obviously not easy to pick out a talent at the age of 15, but you only have to look at Martin Odegaard in Arsenal’s squad to see that it is indeed possible for scouts to spot a future superstar at this age.
