Arsenal kid Jordi Osei-Tutu ready to quit Emirates for Germany transfer after Hamburg make bid for full-back
ARSENAL youngster Jordi Osei-Tutu is ready to leave the Emirates after a bid from Hamburg.
The 20-year-old full-back has also been tracked by Brentford and Celtic, who want him on loan next season.
But Osei-Tutu is ready to become the next English youngster to head out to Germany for a quicker route to senior football.
The Gunners will offer him a new deal before deciding whether to allow him to leave in a permanent or loan deal.
Osei-Tutu, who was born in Slough, stepped up to Arsenal’s U23s in 2018 and made 18 appearances to help win the title.
RED RISE
He was part of Unai Emery’s first-team squad that travelled to Singapore on pre-season tour last year.
But the defender could be the latest out the Emirates door this summer.
Arsenal announced seven departures with players being released this week, which included four first-team stars.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech has retired, Aaron Ramsey is joining Juventus, and defender Stephan Lichtsteiner is leaving as well as Danny Welbeck.
LATEST ARSENAL NEWS
Also on the list of departures is left-back Cohen Bramall, midfielder Charlie Gilmour and young Spanish defender Julio Pleguezuelo.
Osei-Tutu would also be the latest British youngster to head for Germany in the hope of kick-starting his career.
Fellow Gunner Reiss Nelson spent the season on loan with Hoffenheim, while Jadon Sancho has been the big hit in the Bundesliga.
