Ongoing discussions: Arsenal’s transfer target has not yet agreed to move to Liverpool.

Liverpool could be facing a tricky situation as highly-rated youngster and rumored Arsenal target Joshua Abe has yet to agree to a new contract.

The Athletic reports that uncertainty surrounds Abe’s future, as he has not accepted Liverpool’s current offer, though discussions are ongoing. This follows claims from the Daily Mail that Arsenal are monitoring the situation closely.

It remains unclear whether the Gunners will move for the 15-year-old, with the Athletic noting that several Premier League clubs are keeping a close eye on developments, without naming specific suitors.

Highly regarded at Anfield, Abe is praised for his talent, attitude, and dedication, with those familiar with him believing he has what it takes to succeed at the highest level. Liverpool fans will hope he stays to continue his development, but other offers are likely to come his way

.
Arsenal could be an attractive option for the England Under-16 international, especially as Liverpool reportedly have strict policies on youth wages. This could open the door for Arsenal or other clubs to offer a more appealing contract.

However, Abe will likely have advisors reminding him not to focus solely on money at this stage of his career.

Ultimately, if Liverpool provides the best environment for his development, staying could be the right choice, even if it means waiting longer for a bigger pay rise. At the same time, Arsenal could also offer a strong pathway for a young talent of his calibre.
