Colorado Rapids midfielder Cole Bassett has been handed trials by Arsenal.

The Sun says the Gunners have handed a week-long trial to 18-year-old MLS wonderkid Bassett.

Bassett is a massive Gunners fan and could be set for a January move to the Emirates.

Speaking on his big break, Bassett revealed: “As most people already know, this is my favourite club.

"I don't know which team it will be because it's an international break for them.

"Hopefully, there will be a couple of guys missing with the first team and I can get with them.

“But I'm just excited to get over there and show up basically."
