Arsenal have reportedly moved to complete a deal to sign former Tottenham Hotspur defender Jonathan Dinzeyi.
After failing to break into the first-team setup at Spurs, the 20-year-old was subsequently released at the end of his contract.
However, according to The Athletic, North London rivals Arsenal have made a surprise bid for the youngster.
The Gunners are keen to boost the numbers in their Under-23s setup, which has also led to offers being made for fellow starlets George Lewis and Tim Akinola.
Dinzayi left Spurs having made a total of 63 appearances for their Under-18s and Under-23s sides, which included four outings in the EFL Trophy.
