Another Premier League team, whose name hasn’t been disclosed, is also vying for Darvich’s services. Currently, Darvich plays for SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. Arsenal has a track record of scouting and acquiring young talent from the English domestic market, as seen with their acquisition of 17-year-old left-back Lino Sousa from West Brom last year.

Noah Darvich, who has Iraqi heritage, has been representing the Germany U17 team in the ongoing European Championships. He recently scored a goal in Germany’s 4-0 victory over Portugal.
According to information from CaughtOffside, Darvich is highly regarded for his exceptional technical skills and is seen as a player who can seamlessly fit into teams that employ fluid and attacking tactical approaches. This makes him an attractive prospect for both Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, as they aim to strengthen their youth ranks.
However, due to Brexit regulations, English clubs, including Arsenal, are currently prohibited from signing players under the age of 18. Consequently, Arsenal would have to wait until Darvich turns 18 in September 2024 to officially complete a deal for him.
It’s worth noting that Darvich was born in September 2006, which means he came into the world after Germany hosted the FIFA World Cup in the same year.
