Arsenal is interested in American “teen phenom” Charles Renken (originally from Zambia), according to “unconfirmed reports.” The 14-year-old has apparently reciprocated the interest, and “it is understood that the hype surrounding Renken is so intense that the player will forgo his chance of playing in the MLS for the hopes of signing with a European club.” He is currently part of the U.S. youth development academy at Bradenton, Fla., and a member of the U.S. U-17 squad.
