Transfer: Arsenal set to sign two Man Utd players

Arsenal are on the verge of signing two Manchester United players, according to recent reports. The London-based club is set to make a double move for youngsters James Scanlon and Habeeb Ogunneye. Scanlon, a 19-year-old winger, and Ogunneye, a 20-year-old defender, are seen as valuable additions to Arsenal's squad.

Sources suggest that Arsenal has been actively seeking to bolster its youth recruitment drive, and they are confident that deals for both players can be finalized this summer. Scanlon, who joined United from Derby County in 2021, has already made 24 appearances for Gibraltar's national team. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Swindon Town.

Ogunneye, a defender, made 21 appearances on loan at Newport County last season before being called up for United's first-team squad, including their FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry City in 2024. Both players seem to be excellent fits for Arsenal's plans at the moment, as their club continues to focus on strengthening its youth department.
