Arsenal and Chelsea are looking to build for the future, and they have identified the Polish midfielder Oskar Pietuszewski as a key target.
According to a report from Team Talk, they have sent scouts to watch the Polish midfielder on multiple occasions this season.
Oskar Pietuszewski is a player in demand
The 17-year-old has done quite well for Jagiellonia and has attracted the attention of Manchester City as well. It will be interesting to see where the 17-year-old ends up. He can operate as a number 8 as well as in a more conservative role. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Arsenal and Chelsea. They could use more control in the middle of the park, and the 17-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for them. They are looking to build for the future, and the Polish midfielder would be a solid investment for them.
The player is valued at around €15 million, and Arsenal and Chelsea should be able to afford him without any problems. The deal could look like a bargain in future.
