Arsenal are reportedly currently offering more than Liverpool for the potential transfer of Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora.

It seems that developments are expected soon regarding Mora, with the teenager clearly attracting interest after featuring for Mexico at the 2026 World Cup.

Mora will surely have a lot of options available to him if he is to leave current club Tijuana any time soon, with the youngster having made a real impression there since his debut as a 15-year-old.
Mora first made his debut for Tijuana on 19th August 2024, coming on as substitute and picking up an assist.
