TEEN HOTSHOT BUGDUV CAN STILL JOIN ARSENAL

Moldovan teen sensation Masal Bugduv is still available to join Arsenal as his contract expires this week, technically making him a free agent.
The 16-year-old is currently training with the Moldovan national team and is expected to make his competitive debut for the seniors in their opening World Cup game at home to Latvia on Saturday (ko 1700 hours)
There is speculation in the Moldovan press that a move to Arsenal has already been tied up but that it will not be formalised until his contract runs out on Sunday night.
Bugduv has been named by manager Igor Sagaev in the team for the game at home to Latvia when the team will be hoping that the teenage sensation will kick start their World Cup bid with a win.
They play their second game at home to Israel on Wednesday night and it is expected that Bugduv, who will by then be techniclaly without a club, will travel to London to formalise the deal with Arsenal.
It is expected that he will be unveiled at London Colney on Friday morning.
Born on April 14, 1992, he shot to fame playing for his native FC Olimpia Balti for whom he scored a hattrick on his competitive debut in an Adzi Cup match in December 2007.?Bagduv became the youngest player capped at that level by his country and he went on to make his senior international debut aged just 16 years and 44 days when he came on for the national team in their 2-2 draw with Armenia in a friendly international in Tiraspol on May 28.?Trailing 2-1 with just ten minutes left, Moldova seemed set to lose until Bagduv lost his marker on the left wing, shimmied inside two defenders and fired in a shot that could only be parried by Armenian keeper Racif into the path of onrushing Igor Bugaev who equalised.

I think he meant because its a another youngster and not a key signing for Arsenal! I would personally prefer Appiah to come in right now rather than this kid!

Im not doubting his ability but again he wont be ready to play for another 3 years at least! No complaints if we bring him in but like i just said, would rather Appiah atm ok

It would be nice to get this player but do we have room? He would have to be astronomically talented to get in ahead of Vela, Walcott, and all the other young starlets we have.
