OPINION: Arsenal must prevent Chelsea from signing Khayon Edwards to stop Cobham’s domination
The youngster has also featured in the EFL trophy this season, and it is because of these performances that he has also gained interest from overseas, with numerous Bundesliga clubs also reportedly trying to offer him a professional deal.
Arsenal have had major success with Smith Rowe and Saka, who both blossomed after graduating from the Hale End academy over the last couple of seasons.
Both youngsters have become crucial players in Arteta’s plans highlighting the recent success of the youth setup, as they are also now senior squad internationals for England.
The Gunners could risk not creating a trilogy of youngsters from Hale End academy to make the international step up if Edwards is to lose the club.
It would also add salt to the wounds if Chelsea were to sign the youngster due to their overpowering academy compared to the rest of the world.
Cobham graduates have become a regular sighting across the footballing world, and adding Edwards to that list would certainly be disappointing for the red side of London.
