Arsenal are reportedly prepared to battle a number of Bundesliga clubs for the signature of Danish youngster Zidan Sertdemir in the upcoming transfer market.

The 16-year-old has been in impressive form for Nordsjaelland's Under-19s side this season, having made the step up from their youth side last August.

According to Bild, Arsenal have been alerted to the teenager's development, but the Gunners will face intense competition for his signature if they decide to make a move.

The report claims that Borussia Monchengladbach have already expressed their interest, but Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim are also keen on signing him.

Dutch giants Ajax have also been mentioned as possible suitors for a player who has scored once in two appearances for Denmark's Under-16s side.

Sertdemir has made nine appearances in the Under-19s Boys League this season.
