According to the Mirror, north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham have developed an interest in Stevenage youngster, Ben Kennedy, despite the 18-year-old having only played four games for the League Two club.
However, Kennedy has made a frighteningly immediate impact for the Boro, scoring three goals. He is also a Northern Ireland under-19 international, getting on the scoresheet during their 1-1 with the Netherlands on Thursday.
Kennedy – who can play as a midfielder or striker – only signed his first professional deal with the side lurking three points outside the play-off positions in February.
The Mirror also suggest that Manchester City may be looking at the player.
