Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Must Close Deal on Young Star Foday Nabay

Arsenal needs to do everything they can to close the deal and bring young Birmingham City star Foday Nabay into the fold during this transfer window.

Nabay would be a perfect for a squad that is searching for a spark, especially with talks with Robin van Persie being up in the air. According to James Pearson of Skysports.com, the Gunners are currently the favorites to land him: 

"Skysports.com understands Arsenal are leading the chase for Birmingham City starlet Foday Nabay and hope to conclude a deal next week," Pearson wrote.

This would be a huge pickup for Arsenal, and they need to do everything they can to close the deal on it. According to Pearson's report, this will be the second time they've made a bid to Birmingham City:

"

The north Londoners are understood to have seen a bid rejected by Birmingham last month, however, Arsenal are set to make a fresh move next week with a view to thrashing out terms.

"

It's often said that "the third time's the charm," but Arsenal needs to close the deal on Nabay this time around.

Nabay is incredibly young, which means the Gunners can take their time in developing him, teach him the system and really create loyalty between club and player. It would also create an excitement and hope for the future of the club, and that's something that can never be overstated.

This would be a huge deal for the Gunners, so they have to do everything they can to close it and bring Nabay in.

Search his name on YouTube for highlight clips, and you won't find anything...yet. The hope is, when you do eventually see clips of the young star, he'll be representing the Gunners.
