Arsenal boss Wenger made personal check on Ipswich youngster Carel Tofiak

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is chasing Ipswich Town teenage striker Carel Tofiak.

The Daily Mail says Wenger scouted Tofiak - who is happy playing on the wing or up front - during a recent game for Town's Under 18s.

Born in Cameroon, but eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland, the 17-year-old has been raising interest from a number of clubs this season.

And Wenger is hoping his ability to spot emerging talent is on the money once again - but will face stiff resistance from the East Anglia club who will not want to let him go.
