"Arsenal are reportedly up against Bayern Munich for the potential transfer of highly-rated Serbian wonderkid Vasilije Kostov, who has drawn comparisons with Barcelona's Pedri. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has already made 26 first-team appearances for Red Star Belgrade and has won cap for Serbia's senior national team. According to the Sun, Arsenal are now tracking Kostov after his impressive contribution of six goals and five assists for Red Star Belgrade."
"The report goes on to suggest that Kostov could be on the move in the summer for an asking price of just 17m. Still, the Serbia international being available for so cheap will also surely just lead other clubs to joining the race for his signature. Arsenal and Bayern seem to be the main names being linked with Kostov at the moment, but the report also cites previous links with Barcelona. Capable of playing out wide or centrally, Kostov looks like he could have an immediate impact at the Emirates Stadium as an alternative to the likes of Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze."
Vasilije Kostov is a 17-year-old Serbian attacking midfielder with 26 first-team appearances for Red Star Belgrade and a senior cap for Serbia. He has contributed six goals and five assists this season. Arsenal and Bayern Munich are reportedly tracking Kostov, who has been compared to Barcelona's Pedri and can play centrally or out wide. Red Star may ask around 17m for his transfer, a relatively low fee likely to attract multiple suitors including previous links to Barcelona. Kostov could provide an immediate alternative to Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze while offering long-term potential. Arsenal have recently signed multiple players and often develop young talents into first-team regulars like William Saliba, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
