A clutch of the Premier League's biggest sides are chasing Queen's Park Rangers prodigy Raheem Sterling, according to The Daily Mail, who state that despite being tracked by Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool &Manchester City, it is Arsenal who are favourites for the player's signature.
Sterling, 14, only made his first appearance in QPR's reserve side this season, but has impressed both the in-house managerial staff as well as the watching scouts.
Head of youth development at Arsenal, Liam Brady, has reportedly been monitoring the player's progress at Rangers, and should the Gunners make a move for the teenager, then the Championship outfit may be compensated with a minimum of £750,000, plus add-ons.
Sterling has also made his England Under-16 debut this season.
The player remains grounded, recently telling The Kilburn Times: "I'd like to play a few more games for the reserves and do well in training and play for the first team eventually.
"Jim Magilton has watched me play and train and he said 'Keep doing what you're doing - I'm not afraid to chuck young players in the first team'. If it happened, I'd just have to be a bit smarter than normal."
