Arsenal has made an approach to sign 16-year-old English midfielder Xavier Parker from Manchester City, with the aim of bringing the London-born player back to the capital. Arsenal is one of multiple clubs to have held talks with Parker's representatives, as the player has not yet agreed to his first professional contract with City. Although Manchester City has presented an offer that sources describe as outstanding, other clubs have shown interest. Other London clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham, have also made approaches, while Manchester United and Liverpool have submitted proposals. Additionally, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig have held discussions with Parker's representatives, and Real Madrid is monitoring the situation. Parker has 8 caps for England at the U16 level and recorded 4 goals and 6 assists in 15 games in the U18 Premier League during the 2025/2026 season.
