Much like Steven Gerrard, a move to Aston Villa was too good to turn down for him and the same could happen with the 15-year-old.
Arsenal are a very big club and despite their recent struggles, look to be on the rise of late.
They are on top of the Premier League and are expected to challenge for the title – something nobody thought they would at the start of the season.
If Gers manage to retain his services, it will be a big coup but they’ve got to give him certain assurances which could include a quicker pathway to the first team.
Wylie isn’t eligible to sign his professional forms until he turns 16 in January and that’s when we could get a clear picture of his future.
