Arsenal have joined the battle for Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons.

The Daily Star says the Gunners are keeping tabs on the 19-year-old rising star who has burst onto the scene this season.

Manchester City and Liverpool have also registered their interest.

And Aarons's suitors believe they have been given hope of prising him away from St James' Park.

The England under-20 wide man has just 18 months left on his current deal.
