Arsenal keen to snap up 16-year-old Scunthorpe midfielder Joey Dawson – nephew of former Spurs defender Michael
ARSENAL are keen to snap up Scunthorpe’s teenage midfielder Joey Dawson in a surprise deal.
The talented 16-year-old became the youngest first-team player in Scunthorpe’s history in August.
He is the son of former Iron left-back Andy and a nephew of ex-Tottenham defender Michael Dawson.
Dawson has made just one appearance this season, coming off the bench in the 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat at the hands of Derby.
