Academy schoolboy Byron Lawrence is already interesting Premier League Arsenal, according to one of today’s tabloids. The 15-year-old midfielder was on the bench for the Blues during the Carling Cup tie against Northampton on Tuesday but didn’t make it on to the field.

Recruited from non-league side Histon, the Hertfordshire-based youngster signed schoolboy forms with Town a year ago.

The link with the Gunners should come as no surprise, the same newspaper claimed Arsene Wenger’s side were chasing young left-back Joe Whight before he signed his two-year professional contract earlier in the summer.

Tractorog added 00:23 - Aug 12 Good. I hope he lives up to his reputation and we sell to Arsenal for a quintillion billion quid... Assuming he does not single handedly bring us premiership and then European glory. No pressure then....

robdaful added 01:57 - Aug 12 I know its only paper talk but I do feel proud with our youths and who they are linked with. Wickham, Whight, Lavery and now Lawrence. Keep up the good work.

brian_a_mul added 11:31 - Aug 12 One of the knock on effects of Wickhams big money transfer to Sunderland seems to be the increased value of our youth players. I just hope the younger players keep their feet on the ground, work hard and not be tempted by the toughts of lucrative moves to premier league reserve teams!!
