Arsenal are reported to be in discussions with Manchester United over the possible signings of two young players, winger James Scanlon and defender Habeeb Ogunneye. Multiple outlets say the talks are part of Arsenal’s ongoing recruitment activity ahead of the next transfer window.
The reports describe both players as emerging talents: Scanlon is a 19-year-old winger, while Ogunneye is a 20-year-old defender. One outlet attributes the developments to information linked to reporting by The Telegraph, while another frames the move as continuing a wider shift toward targeting younger prospects. Both sources present the situation as negotiation rather than a completed transfer, and neither outlet specifies a fee, timeline, or whether personal terms have been agreed.
Overall, the outlets largely agree on the names involved and the youth-focused nature of the approach, but they differ in how they characterize the strategy and which reporting chain they cite. No official confirmation from either club is included in the accounts.
