Arsenal youth player Marcus McGuane sharpens his finishing
McGuane, 18, is one of Arsenal’s brightest midfield prospects and has established himself as a regular in their Under-23s side.
And his performances earned him his first-team debut in the Europa League last month.
He replaced Reiss Nelson in the 79th minute against BATE Borisov in Arsenal’s 4-2 win in Belarus.
However, doubt has been cast on his future with his current contract at the Emirates set to expire at the end of the season.
Arsenal have already lost Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool and look destined to lose Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil next summer after allowing them to run down their deals.

But TransferMarketWeb claim Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger does not want to make this mistake again and have opened talks with McGuane over a long-term deal.
McGuane has apparently attracted some admirers though, with Manchester United said to be keen on swooping for the England Under-19 international.
Jose Mourinho’s side as well as Juventus are both reportedly monitoring his situation.

The Portuguese boss has been working hard to bring in young talent for the future and McGuane could fit the bill.
While Juventus will be hoping to lure him to Italy.
In the meantime, McGuane could get another taste of first-team football when they return to Europa League action with a trip to Serbia to face Red Star Belgrade on October 19.
