Who is Sam Fagbemi, how old is Man City transfer scout, is he joining Arteta at Arsenal?
MIKEL ARTETA looks set to sign on the dotted line and join Arsenal this week.
The Spaniard will move from being Pep Guardiola's assistant coach to becoming top dog at his former club.
Yet, Arsenal are not satisfied with just taking Arteta from the Premier League champions, as they also target their top talent-spotter.
So what is the deal with Sam Fagbemi?
Who is Sam Fagbemi?
Fagbemi may only be 25, but is already spotting players for Manchester City - and seeing deals signed for them.
He currently leads the Premier League champions' youth scouting in the south, allying himself with head of academy recruitment Joe Shields, who Arsenal have tried to tempt to London in the past.
Although Fagbemi has not been involved in the big multi-million pound deals like Rodri, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker since joining in January 2017, he has been tasked with finding the next big thing.
As reported by Daily Mail, the youngster helped pick out four youth signings in the summer, including Josh WIlson-Eshbrand from West Ham.
Ben Knight from Ipswich, and former Millwall duo Sam Edozie and Darko Gyabi were also Fagbemi's finds.
