The Gunners are likely to be in the market for first-team reinforcements in the summer transfer window, but Mikel Arteta's recruitment team will also be eyeing young talent for the future. It's a strategy that Todd Boehly has focused on with Chelsea, and Arsenal are now hoping to poach one of their young stars.
Romano has now confirmed that Arsenal are leading the race to sign Chelsea's McAidoo and they've made an offer to prise him away from the west London outfit.

Italian journalist Romano has now confirmed that Arsenal have made a proposal to sign Chelsea youngster McAidoo, who is expected to move on in the summer transfer window. The Gunners are said to be leading the race for the talented star, with Arsenal submitting the 'best project proposal' so far...
"Arsenal made proposal and they are currently leading the race to sign Ryan McAidoo, 2008 born talented forward. He’s expected to leave Chelsea this summer; best project proposal so far came from Arsenal. McAidoo played for England U16 and U17 this season."
McAidoo has already represented his country at youth level and made his England U17 debut at the age of 15. The young star came off the bench during England's U17 European Championship qualifying campaign, making his debut against Northern Ireland.
The Secret Scout took to social media on Tuesday to also confirm that a departure was looking likely for McAidoo, suggesting that Liverpool and Manchester City have also been linked with a move. Arsenal are currently awaiting a decision from Chido Obi-Martin as they hope to persuade him to stay at the club amid interest from Bayern Munich. It will be interesting to see whether the Gunners are pushing for McAidoo as a replacement for Obi-Martin, who looks like there's a chance he heads through the exit door.
