Arsenal set to secure move for Rangers key man

After completing his notice term at Ibrox, Phil Cowen, senior recruiter for Rangers,

will take a position as head of academy scouting at Arsenal.

Football Insider reports that Rangers player Phil Cowen is expected to join Arsenal,

marking a significant academy appointment.

With his senior recruitment job at Ibrox,

he has established himself as a crucial figure.

He will now be in charge of the Gunners academy recruitment.

It became well known that Phil Cowen had brought in a number of

young players who were doing well at Rangers at the time,

some of whom were close to making the first team.

The senior Ibrox recruiter has been serving his notice, and a transfer to Arsenal is highly likely.

With his work with the Rangers,

Cowen has left his impact, mentoring players such as Alex Lowry and Leon King.

Additionally, he welcomed Mason Munn, 17, who was rumoured to be linked to Arsenal,

to the team, and he is also leaving a good impression.

He has been a huge asset to Rangers overall,

and he will be joining Arsenal in January.

According to the source, Cowen has already completed his notice period and will arrive in

north London officially in the middle of next month,

when the Premier League team formally announces the appointment.

Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith-Rowe,

and Reiss Nelson are just a few of the prominent players that Arsenal has developed in recent years.

Ainsley-Maitland Niles, Joe Willock,

and Alex Iwobi are among the others who have excelled but are currently playing football abroad.

Young players like Ethan Nwaneri, whom Arsenal signed a long-term contract with,

are among the next wave of promising prospects who might soon be playing for the first team.

This season, other players like Myles Lewis-Skelly, Reuell Walters,

Lino Sousa, and Amario Cozier-Dubbery are also training frequently with the senior team.

Arsenal is excited to take on teams like Manchester City, who are masters of the academy system.

The Premier League winners are set to transact more business after selling

academy prospects for £70 million in the summer.

Arsenal wants to see success with its Hale End academy and develop

players who will either directly or indirectly help the main squad.

Cowen’s appointment will propel them to the next level and likely increase

the Gunners’ prospects of leaving a lasting impression on the young scene.
