There has been a lot of hype and speculation regarding one of the most impressive young talents in the world right now, and when he was going to finally make his debut for Juventus despite being only 16 years old.
This guy is Moise Kean, one of the most impressively talented speedsters in the world, and everybody was eager to see what “Super Moise” (as he’s been nicknamed due to some resemblances with fellow compatriot Mario Balotelli) had to offer for the Bianconeri.
Due to Marko Pjaca and Paulo Dybala injuries, the possibility to see Kean came much sooner than expected and the youngster finally had a chance to shine against low profile side Pescara, substituting Mario Mandzukic, becoming the only player to be born in 2000 to make his debut in the Italian Serie A.
So it’s only natural that dozens of great teams are piling up to acquire the Ivory Coast – Italian youngster, as the versatile speedster’s talent is completely off the charts, as you would expect from every guy represented by big shot agent Mino Raiola.
One of the teams that are currently looking to break the bank in order to try and sign this diamond in the rough is Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal, an institution known for their trust and development of young players that’s always on the hunt for a new great prospect. So let’s talk a little bit more about who this wonder kid is.
Kean is your typical pacy guy who can play near the sidelines with great ease, behind the striker or even as the main man up front, and some passages of his game make him seem like a great combination of Raheem Sterling and the aforementioned Mario Balotelli, a lethal fusion if you ask us.
He has already made his debut for the Italian u17 national team, scoring his first goal against Spain, besides also making a couple of appearances for Juventus in this year’s UEFA Youth League, completely dominating every single opponent that dared to try to contain him.
During the past season at the tender age of 16, the versatile scorer managed to send the ball to the bottom of the nets on 24 opportunities in 25 played games, something that’s completely mouthwatering to every single big team that’s trying to make a run at him.
Moise is one of the most powerful and speedy youngsters you’ll find, as his physique is extremely well developed for a youngster, and he could eventually become a Didier Drogba or Romelu Lukaku kind of striker, having a great aerial game and great ability to knock down defenders with his strength. It’s very unlikely that Juventus will let him go, but Arsenal is keen to bring him to North London.
On the downside, he still has a lot of maturing to do in order to become one of the best in the world, as his youth often makes him try to overdo things instead of just passing the ball to any of his teammates, but he’s still a teenager, so that’s the kind of things you’d expect from him.
Arsenal boss Renee Slegers has confirmed that Emily Fox is likely to miss Wednesday’s League Cup semi final clash with Manchester United after the defender suffered a head injury in the FA Cup win over Aston Villa.
The United States international came off in the 22nd minute of Arsenal’s 2-0 victory and was replaced by January signing Smilla Holmberg.
Fox has been an ever present figure in the Arsenal team this season, featuring in all 12 of their WSL clashes. Her absence for such a crucial semi final represents a significant blow to the Gunners, though Slegers will be hopeful that Fox can return for Arsenal’s vital WSL clash with Chelsea this weekend.
Slegers Taking Cautious Approach
The Arsenal manager explained the club’s careful handling of Fox’s injury. “We assessed her yesterday and today, and we just want to make really good decisions with Foxy. It’s looking likely she won’t be in the squad tomorrow, and then we will assess her again tomorrow and the day after. That’s where we’re at now with Foxy.”
This is the right approach from Slegers, who cannot afford to rush Fox back and risk a more serious injury. Head injuries must be treated with extreme caution, and Arsenal are sensibly prioritizing the player’s long term health over short term results.
Holmberg Could Start Against United
Fox’s absence will likely present a chance for new signing Holmberg to start against the Red Devils. The Swedish defender impressed after coming on against Villa and will be eager to prove herself in such a high profile fixture.
Slegers also confirmed that goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar will be in the squad after missing matches since November 19, while Leah Williamson remains unavailable.
Arsenal face a hectic schedule with the League Cup, Chelsea in the WSL, and the Women’s Champions Cup all upcoming.

Arsenal Star Katie McCabe Attracting NWSL Interest as Contract Expires This Summer With High Impact Player Rule Making Move Financially Viable
Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe is being closely monitored by National Women’s Soccer League clubs ahead of a pivotal summer for Arsenal. Several NWSL sides have shown ongoing interest for the past 18 months, fully aware that McCabe’s Arsenal deal expires at the end of the season.
The situation places McCabe at an important crossroads in her career. Having tasted Champions League triumph last summer, she wants to compete at the top level and that ambition will inevitably shape any decision she makes. Arsenal face losing one of their most recognizable figures unless they act quickly.
Ten Arsenal Stars Out of Contract
McCabe is not the only high profile name at Arsenal approaching the end of her current deal. The club has a staggering number of senior players out of contract this summer including Stina Blackstenius, Kim Little, Leah Williamson, Caitlin Foord, Beth Mead, Laia Codina, Steph Catley, Victoria Pelova and Manuela Zinsberger.
This list is frankly ridiculous for a club of Arsenal’s stature. Several of these players form the core of the team and have played key roles in recent domestic and European success. Decisions made by the club and by the players themselves will shape the direction of the squad moving forward, and Arsenal cannot afford to lose multiple stars simultaneously.
High Impact Player Rule Changes Game
The introduction of the NWSL High Impact Player rule in July is already influencing how clubs view potential signings from Europe. The rule allows NWSL clubs to exceed the league’s salary cap by up to $1 million for high impact players, making moves for European stars like McCabe financially viable.
For now, McCabe remains focused on finishing the season strongly with Arsenal. Whether her future lies in north London or across the Atlantic will be one of the biggest stories to watch as summer approaches.

Arsenal captain Leah Williamson has been announced as a National Year of Reading ambassador following the official launch of the 2026 campaign at Emirates Stadium.
The Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson unveiled the Go All In initiative on January 13, positioning reading as a gateway to enhancing passions across all walks of life.
Williamson joined a stellar lineup of ambassadors including author Julia Donaldson, illustrator Axel Scheffler, poet Jackie Kay, and several other prominent figures from literature and public life. The event marked a significant moment for literacy promotion in the country, with the campaign centred on the message that reading can deepen enjoyment of whatever people already love.
A Message From the Pitch
Speaking at the launch, Williamson drew parallels between football and reading. She said the National Year of Reading represents a chance to fully commit to personal passions through literature in all its forms. The Arsenal skipper encouraged people to seize the opportunity by picking up books, listening to audiobooks, or diving into articles related to their interests. Her involvement underscores how sports figures can champion reading beyond their professional domains.
Resetting Reading Culture
Joanna Prior, chief executive of Pan Macmillan and chair of The National Literacy Trust, described the launch as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform how Britain views books.
The ambition extends beyond traditional reading spaces, aiming to make literature accessible in communities, schools, and even on football pitches. Prior emphasized stripping away pressure and stigma around reading, making it relevant and enjoyable rather than obligatory.
The campaign represents a coordinated national effort to boost literacy rates and foster a genuine love of reading across all demographics and age groups throughout 2026.
