The 17-year-old Legia Warsaw wonder kid has been likened to Patrick Vieira for his physical attributes and can function as a centre half or holding midfielder.
Arsene Wenger has dispatched scouts in the past couple of weeks to run the rule over Bielik.

However, according to fresh reports, Arsenal have seen their opening offer turned down.

Wenger has a proven track record of unearthing young talent, and it remains to be seen whether he will come back to the table with an improved bid.
