Arsenal and Chelsea want Harley M.D. James
Meanwhile, Arsenal is looking to build a formidable team for the future, and it’s no surprise that they are enthusiastic about Emsden James. They are one of the largest clubs in the country and have consistently fought for major trophies. It would be interesting to see if you could convince a 16-year-old to join the club.
Clubs hoping to sign players will have to pay a compensation fee of around £1 million. It would be fair to assume that all three clubs have the financial resources to allow him to spare.
Finally, Chelsea also links to players. They have shown an appetite to bring talented young players in recent seasons, and they are about to add to the club’s terrifying pool of young talent.
