Arsenal have emerged as the latest club to monitor Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear, who was previously on the books at Tottenham Hotspur. The Gunners join a growing list of clubs tracking the young forward's development.

Lankshear made the move from Tottenham Hotspur to Middlesbrough, and his performances in the Championship have caught the eye of a number of top-flight sides — with Arsenal now among those keeping close tabs on him.

No formal offer has been reported at this stage, but the level of interest surrounding Lankshear underlines the impression he has made since leaving north London. Arsenal's recruitment team are understood to be watching his progress carefully as they weigh up potential additions to their attacking options.
