Arsenal youth talent Elian Quesada-Thorn is attracting interest with the 20-year-old left back set to leave the club this summer after a decade spent in their academy.
The Hale End youngster previously signed two professional contracts with the Gunners in 2023 and 2024 and was regularly rewarded with call-ups to train with Mikel Arteta’s first team after impressing with their development sides.
However, his progress was hampered by a lengthy back injury which prevented him from ever managing a senior appearance, unlike his fellow academy left back Myles Lewis-Skelly who has seized his opportunity brilliantly and made that position his own.

But it is understood Quesada-Thorn is now ready for regular game time after finally overcoming the issue which had troubled him for around 18 months.
Given the chance of senior football is unlikely to come at Arsenal with those ahead of him, he is currently weighing up his options for where to next challenge himself.
Though born and raised in London, and having been on Arsenal’s books for half his life, he has represented Costa Rica at youth level thanks to his heritage. He is also eligible for Sweden and Ireland.
