Arsenal to take on Manchester United and Liverpool for £10m striker
ARSENAL are set to rival Manchester United and Liverpool for highly-rated Nottingham Forest youngster Ben Brereton, according to reports.
Ben Brereton is reportedly a target for Arsenal
Arsenal have reportedly been scouting Ben Brereton in recent weeks ahead of a summer move for the striker.
The Sun claim Arsene Wenger is keen to bring in the 17-year-old should he stay on as manager next season.
However, the Gunners face stiff competition from their Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool for the teenager.
Nottingham Forest have valued Ben Brereton at around £10million

The report says Jurgen Klopp is particularly interested in Brereton, who he feels can be shaped into his style of playing.
United are also said to have been tracking the forward who Nottingham Forest value at around £10million.
But earlier this year, Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi claimed the club have no intention of selling him in the summer.
"Why would we want to sell him?" Al Hasawi said.
"We have invested money in the academy and Gary [Brazil] has done an amazing job, which is why we have good players coming through now.
"That is very positive for the future of the club. We want them to play here."
Brereton has made 13 appearances for Forest this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in all competitions.
