Is Nikolaj Moller going to prove a £450k bargain for Arsenal?

Arsenal’s under-23s were in fine form yesterday evening, putting their Blackburn Rovers counterparts to the sword in a stunning 6-0 win. 

The Gunners run rampant with the likes of Folarin Balogun and Emille Smith-Rowe both catching the eye. 

But it was the display of Nikolaj Moller that truly caught the eye. 

The Swedish talent scored twice and also provided an assist in the game. His link-up play throughout was exemplary and he has clearly developed a fine understanding with Folarin Balogun in attack.

So could Arsenal have got their hands on an absolute bargain?

The 18-year-old arrived at Arsenal for a reported (Goal) £450,000 in the summer after six months back in Sweden with Malmo. This came following a stint in Italy with Bologna and it seems as though Arsenal have snapped up a real talent. 

Moller has now scored three goals in three appearances for the Arsenal under-23s since his arrival and with Balogun’s future looking uncertain, perhaps he is the striking prospect Arsenal fans should be keeping their eyes on. 

If Moller continues on his current trajectory, it will not be long before he is catching the eye of Mikel Arteta.
