Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a new deal for academy striker Khayon Edwards, who has attracted interest from Chelsea, Leeds and Newcastle United.

Arsenal youngster Khayon Edwards has reportedly taken a big step towards agreeing new terms at the Emirates.

The 18-year-old has been in talks with the Gunners throughout the last few months surrounding a new deal, which would be his first pro contract as he is currently on a scholarship deal, that is set to expire at the end of this season.

Edwards has netted 17 goals for Arsenal's youth side in this campaign, and there is hope that he can be given an opportunity in the senior side by Mikel Arteta, following in the footsteps of fellow youngsters Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

According to The Mirror, Edwards may receive his chance in the first team if the Gunners lose Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah in the summer, amid doubt about the duo's future in North London.

It is believed that Chelsea, Leeds United and Newcastle United are all showing interest in signing Edwards, which is a main reason why Arsenal are looking to tie the attacker down to the club with a new contract.

Charlie Patino is another youngster who has been given his chance by Arteta this season, and Edwards will be hoping that he can be the next academy graduate to feature for the Gunners.
