Ghana seek to nick Arsenal fullback Jordi Osei-Tutu away from England
19th March 2019
Ghana are set to persuade English born Arsenal youngster Jordi Osei-Tutu to choose the Black Stars for international football.
The 20-year old has been a key member of the Arsenal U-23 team and gunners boss Unai Emery is set to promote him to the senior side.
Osei-Tutu is a regular for the under-23s and was wanted in the January transfer window by clubs in Germany, France and also MLS in the United States for a loan move.
Due to Hector Bellerin's injury, Unai Emery put a block on any switch even though he has yet to feature for the senior team.
Osei-Tutu moved to Arsenal in 2015 after being signed from Reading's academy for a fee of around £100,000.
And he became the fourth Ghanaian youth player to rise through the ranks at Arsenal in recent times after Zak Ansah, Daniel Boateng and Emmanuel Frimpong.
Yet Osei-Tutu is being watched by England's youth scouts and if he continues to progress as expected, will soon get a call-up.
