Arsenal monitoring Bundesliga talent Can Uzun, report claims
Arsenal are continuing to track the progress of Eintracht Frankfurt's Can Uzun, with the Bundesliga side's young talent said to be of interest to the Gunners as they scout for future additions.
Arsenal have built a reputation in recent years for identifying promising young players across Europe before they become household names, combining that recruitment strategy with genuine pathways into the first team. Uzun is reportedly the latest name on that radar, having continued to catch the eye in Germany.

Who's out, who's back and what it means for the next two games.
The attacking midfielder has established himself as one of the Bundesliga's more notable under-21 talents, with his technical ability and progress at Frankfurt drawing attention from elsewhere. Last season he scored twice in the Champions League for the club, and he has continued developing during the current campaign.
What's being said about Arsenal's interest
According to Team Talk, Arsenal rate Uzun highly and are among the clubs monitoring his development closely. The report stresses this is a case of the Gunners continuing to assess promising young players who could strengthen their options down the line, rather than an imminent move.
Arsenal have shown increasing willingness to hand opportunities to younger players in recent seasons, and Uzun's profile could fit that pattern should the club decide to pursue a formal approach. For now, though, the interest appears to be at a monitoring stage rather than anything more advanced.
Frankfurt's history of selling to bigger clubs
Frankfurt have built something of a reputation for developing talented players who go on to attract interest from wealthier European clubs, and Uzun could follow that path if the right offer materialises. There is no indication, however, that Frankfurt would be willing to sanction a sale in the near future.
Any move would hinge on several factors, including Arsenal's broader recruitment priorities, Uzun's own ambitions, and Frankfurt's willingness to negotiate on valuation. A suitable bid might prompt the German club to reconsider their stance, but that remains speculative at this stage.
For now, Uzun remains a player Arsenal are watching rather than actively pursuing, with his continued progress in the Bundesliga and in Europe likely to determine how serious any interest becomes.
