Arsenal pursuing fresh agreement with player amid fruitful EFL loan spell

Brooke Norton-Cuffy is set to be offered a contract extension at Arsenal off the back of his impressive performances on loan at Lincoln City.

The 18-year-old has made 11 appearances for the Imps since arriving on loan in January and has been part of some improved results under Michael Appleton.

The England U18 international had played seven times in Premier League 2 this season before heading to Sincil Bank and has clearly been turning heads at his parent club with the way he has adapted to League One football.

It has not just been at Arsenal that Norton-Cuffy has been turning heads though with the 18-year-old the subject of transfer interest according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.

Ornstein tweeted this afternoon: “Talented Arsenal right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy making strong impression on loan at Lincoln and has plenty of suitors in PL & Europe’s top leagues.

“Contract expires in 2023 but #AFC have offered new long-term deal and 18 year-old is expected to sign @TheAthleticUK.”
