Arsenal looking to secure another promising youngster
Rangers have developed several talented youngsters through their academy system, with Findlay Curtis and Bailey Rice among those who have started making their mark at senior level.
Urban could follow a similar development pathway at Ibrox, but Arsenal’s interest could pose a challenge for the Scottish club.
The teenager recently received another opportunity to showcase his abilities after being included in Scotland’s Under-15 squad for the World Cup alongside two other Rangers youngsters.
His development has clearly attracted attention, and Arsenal are now looking to strengthen their position in the race for his signature.
However, the Gunners will need to convince the youngster that a move to North London represents the best opportunity for his development. Rangers will also be determined to retain one of their most exciting academy prospects as his reputation continues to grow.
