Arsenal table fresh offer to stop 20-goal sensation from joining London rivals – Romano
Crystal Palace and Norwich City are both keen on signing Arsenal youngster Dan Casey, according to reports from journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The 17-year-old forward has built a reputation for his skill, work rate, and ability to play in different attacking roles.
Casey’s versatility across the front line has made him one of the most talked-about prospects from Arsenal’s academy this year.
Arsenal keen to keep their academy prospect
Arsenal’s academy has produced several stars for the first team in recent years, including Bukayo Saka.
The club also have promising talents such as Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, both of whom recently signed long-term deals.
Casey is the latest name attracting attention after a strong run of performances in youth football.
Following the end of his youth contract, Arsenal offered him a professional deal to secure his future at the club.
Palace are reported to be eager to bring him in, believing they can give him valuable first-team minutes.
The Eagles see him as a player who could grow quickly in a Premier League environment.
However, Oliver Glasner’s side are not alone in their pursuit. Norwich City, currently in the Championship, are also showing firm interest in the teenager.
Norwich believe Casey could be a long-term attacking option, but interest from other top-flight clubs may work against them.
Casey has had a standout season, scoring 20 goals across youth competitions and impressing scouts with his decision-making in the final third.
Arsenal want to keep hold of him and are actively preparing a new contract offer.
Even so, the youngster could leave if a suitable compensation package is agreed between Arsenal and the buying club.
For now, his future remains open, with both Premier League and Championship sides ready to compete for his signature.
