Arsenal are looking to extend the contract of an important player in their Academy, Xavier Amaechi, 18.<\/p>\n

According to goal.com, Arsenal are attempting to tie down two of their brightest young talents, teenagers Tyreece John-Jules and Xavier Amaechi, amid interest from Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Amaechi, who is of Nigerian descent, penned his first professional contract with the Gunners in January 2018 and it is claimed that the deal is due to expire in 2020.<\/p>\n

The right winger was monitored by at least fourteen Bundesliga clubs, including Bayern Munich in Arsenal U23s 2-2 draw against Swansea City in April.<\/p>\n

Known for his blistering pace and ability to go past defenders, Amaechi’s playing style has been compared to Arsenal’s Gabon star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang,<\/p>\n

At the European U17 Championship in England last year, Amaechi was selected to the Team of the Tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
