Report: Arsenal want Chelsea youngster Ola Aina

A report claims that Chelsea's 19-year-old defender Ola Aina, who is out of contract at the end of this season, is a transfer target for Arsenal.

Arsenal are reportedly one of a number of clubs looking to poach England Under-21 defender Ola Aina from Chelsea this month.

The 19-year-old is highly rated at Stamford Bridge, but talks over a new contract have stalled and his current deal expires this summer.

According to The Mirror, Arsenal have joined Liverpool in the race to sign Aina, who is currently refusing to pen an extension with the Blues.

Chelsea have been reluctant to bring through young players over the last few seasons, but 19-year-old Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored for the first team in the FA Cup at the weekend.
