Premier League leaders Arsenal will hope to take a huge step towards the title when they face Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday night.
The Gunners beat London rivals Chelsea at The Emirates on Sunday to restore their five-point advantage at the summit.
Mikel Arteta’s side have finished second in the Premier League table in each of the past three seasons, and the Spaniard will be desperate to avoid finishing as runners-up once again this time around.
Ahead of their trip to The Amex, it has emerged that Arsenal are one of two huge Premier League sides interested in a talented young Bundesliga starlet.
According to CF Bayern Insider, via CaughtOffside, both Arsenal and Manchester United have shown interest in Hertha Berlin teenager Kennet Eichhorn.
The 16-year-old is a product of Hertha’s youth system and has already made 14 appearances for the German side across all competitions at senior level, scoring once.

It is claimed, though, that his impressive displays in Germany haven’t gone unnoticed, with clubs from across Europe keeping tabs on the youngster.
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are another side said to be interested in the midfielder, who has been impressing in the German second tier this season.
The report suggests that both the Gunners and the Red Devils have identified Eichhorn as a candidate to bolster their respective midfield ranks in the long-term, although it is currently very unclear where he will end up if he does depart Berlin.
Eichhorn has so far been capped at various different youth levels by Germany, making four appearances and scoring two goals for the country’s Under-17s side.
