Harriman-Annous is currently part of Arsenal’s Under-21 setup but has already gained experience around the first team and made his senior debut last season.

The Hale End academy graduate has been regarded as one of the promising young forwards coming through Arsenal’s academy and has featured prominently for the club’s youth sides.

He has also been involved in the first-team squad, including making appearances in the Champions League and Carabao Cup during the 2025/26 campaign.

Harriman-Annous made his senior Arsenal debut against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup last October, starting alongside fellow academy prospect Max Dowman in a 2-0 victory.

He has continued to feature for the Under-21s and remains an important part of the club’s development pathway.

According to the report, IFK Göteborg are now considering a move for the youngster as they assess their options for a new forward.

The Swedish club are reportedly looking closely at Harriman-Annous despite his limited senior experience, with the teenager having played just nine minutes in the Champions League for Arsenal according to the report.

The forward has otherwise primarily featured for Arsenal’s Under-21 side in Premier League 2, where he has continued his development.

Harriman-Annous joined Arsenal’s academy in 2016 after previously spending time with Tottenham and local side Whetstone Wanderers.

He signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in 2025 after establishing himself as one of the club’s promising young attacking talents.

The England youth international is capable of playing through the middle as a striker as well as operating from either wing, giving him versatility across the frontline.

For Arsenal, any potential approach would present a decision over the next step in Harriman-Annous’ development.

The Gunners have regularly looked to give their academy players pathways into the first team, while a move abroad could potentially offer the youngster more regular senior football.

At this stage, the report only indicates that Harriman-Annous is on IFK Göteborg’s shortlist and there is no indication that Arsenal have agreed to sell or loan the player.

The interest nevertheless provides another indication of the growing attention surrounding Arsenal’s academy talent.
