Football London revealed yesterday that Arsenal wonderkid Kido Taylor-Hart is on the verge of signing a new long-term contract.
The Gunners have a fantastic reputation of developing young players. The likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe are two examples of how incredible our Hale End academy is, and we are set to see another bright young talent emerge soon.
Taylor-Hart, a versatile attacker who can play on both wings and as a number 10, is viewed by many as the next exciting youngster to break into Mikel Arteta’s first team. The Arsenal boss has already shown that he isn’t afraid to give opportunities to kids, and the former England under-17 international could soon shine for us at the top level.
Taylor Hart’s contract with Arsenal expired at the end of last month. His future has been up in the air for a while now, and the talented youngster was reportedly on the radar of multiple clubs across Europe.
Arsenal simply had to get this deal done, and the report claims that we are very close. Taylor-Hart, 18, is set to stay at the Emirates for the foreseeable future, and that really is excellent news for everyone associated with the club.
