Arsenal are seriously considering a move to sign the 'next Eden Hazard' to bolster their attack this summer, after scouts were left stunned following a trip to watch him live.
The Gunners have had a fine season, but could end it empty-handed, with Man City having the advantage in the Premier League title race, knowing that winning all their remaining games means they will be crowned champions, while Arsenal are preparing to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals too.
But Mikel Arteta is keen to add more firepower to his squad this season after seeing his attack misfire regularly during the campaign, and one star attacker has wowed the club's scouts in particular.
Arsenal Scouts Wowed by 'Next Eden Hazard'

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Arsenal had representatives present for Ajax's 2-0 win over NAC Breda last weekend and they were keeping a close eye on attacking sensation Mika Godts.
The Belgium international, who has been compared to Eden Hazard, is expected to leave the Dutch side this summer after a stunning individual campaign in the Eredivisie, where he has racked up 16 goals and 11 assists in 29 appearances.
It is understood that the 20-year-old forward is being lined up for a major move away from the club this summer, and Arsenal are now seriously considering a move to bring him to the Premier League, as they plan the arrival of a new left-winger during the transfer window.
A number of top European clubs are also understood to be paying close attention to his situation, meaning Arsenal will need to move quickly and decisively if they want to secure a deal for one of the most highly-rated young players around.

Arsenal know that they need more firepower in attack after a relatively disappointing season in front of goal, and a maverick like Godts could be the difference maker in those tight games.
Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Gabriel Jesus are all seemingly on the chopping block for a move away, and that opens up a spot for a player like Godts to come in and make an immediate impact.
GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT to break down his strengths and weaknesses, and rate a potential move to the Emirates Stadium out of 10, and this was its response:
Mika Godts strengths:
Explosive pace, elite dribbling, 1v1 threat
Strong output (goals + assists), creative chance-maker
Direct, high-volume shooter; carries attack
Versatile, can drift inside and link play
Weaknesses:
Decision-making inconsistent; over-dribbles
Can be selfish/lose possession
Not fully physically ready for Premier League
Still raw; not elite-level consistency yet
Arsenal rating:
7/10
High-upside depth/rotation option, but not immediate starter level
Risk due to step-up from Eredivisie
