Arsenal and Chelsea Eye Liverpool Wonderkid Joshua Abe
Liverpool’s youth academy continues to produce exceptional talent, with 15-year-old winger Joshua Abe emerging as one of the most sought-after prospects in England. According to recent reports, both Arsenal and Chelsea are closely monitoring Abe’s progress and are reportedly considering moves to sign the young starlet before he commits to a scholarship at Anfield.
Abe has already earned praise from youth football experts, with one describing him as “the best of his age group across the country.” Online talent scout Secret Scout has further amplified the hype, calling Abe “the BEST winger in the country at this age.” Such recognition has naturally attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, especially given Liverpool’s recent history of losing promising youngsters to rivals.
The situation is reminiscent of the Rio Ngumoha transfer saga, when Liverpool signed the 16-year-old from Chelsea, sparking a major fallout between the two clubs. Chelsea’s renewed interest in Liverpool’s youth ranks is seen by some insiders as a “revenge mission,” adding extra tension to the pursuit of Abe.
Arsenal’s interest is reportedly fueled by the fact that Abe’s father is a lifelong Gunners supporter, which could influence any future decision. Both Arsenal and Chelsea have aggressively targeted young talent in recent years, making the 14-16 age group a fiercely competitive market. Liverpool, meanwhile, have also benefited from this trend, having signed players like Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni from other academies.
While formal negotiations are not yet advanced, the attention from two of England’s biggest clubs underscores Abe’s potential and the high stakes involved in youth recruitment. Liverpool now face a significant challenge to retain one of their brightest prospects as the transfer battle for the next generation heats up.
