Crystal Palace are bracing themselves for interest in young midfielder David Boateng following claims that Arsenal manager Unai Emery is a fan of the player.
According to reports emerging from Ghana, the Gunners boss has tasked his scouts to watch him in action as he considers a future move.
Boateng, a Ghanian native, is a highly regarded central midfielder at Crystal Palace and has been attracting interest recently.
Italian giants Milan are said to be keeping a close eye on his development in London.
Despite game time not being guaranteed, the report claims that the player would be open to a move away from Selhurst Park in the near future.
Boateng has risen through the ranks at Crystal Palace but is yet to break into the senior side.
Roy Hodgson may now need to consider bringing the player into the first-team picture if he wants to keep hold of one of the club’s most promising talents.
