Arsenal can use Gabriel Martinelli example to win Man Utd transfer battle for Rangers wonderkid

Arsenal and Manchester United are scouting 16-year-old Rangers wonderkid Jack Wylie with both clubs holding a long-term interest in the Scotsman. United and Arsenal have had recent success in identifying wonderkids and bringing them into the first-team picture, with Gabriel Martinelli and Alejandro Garnacho announcing themselves for the Gunners and United, respectively, this season.

Martinelli joined Arsenal when he was 18 from Brazilian Serie B side Ituano for £6million and just three years later Paris Saint-Germain are eyeing up a potential £52million move for the Arsenal star who is currently at the World Cup with Brazil.

United poached Garnacho from the Atletico Madrid youth academy for just under £500,000 in 2020 and have since developed him through their academy set up before promoting him into the first-team picture this season.
