Arsenal are closing on a deal for Rapid Vienna prospect Benjamin Kanuric.

Calciomercato.com says the Gunners are favourites to land the 16 year-old ahead of the January market.

Inter Milan, Juventus and Roma are also in contact, though Arsenal are leading the race for the midfielder's signature.

Austria U17 international Kanuric's contract is coming to an end and can be snapped up for a knockdown compensation fee.
