Lecce's hot property, the Bulgarian Valeri Bozhinov said he was aware that Arsenal has been alerted to his precocious talents, SkySports.com informed on Tuesday.
The 17-year-old has made the step up to Serie A football with a comparative ease and was watched by Gunners scouts during the match against Lazio at the weekend.
Lecce coach Delio Rossi admits there is little he can do to prevent clubs from eyeing his young talent, but has warned the Bulgaria-born teenager to maintain his focus on keeping the team in the top flight.
Valeri Bozhinov has attracted interest from Internazionale and Lazio, but seemed pleased to hear that Arsenal joined the queue of clubs keeping tabs on his performances by sending two representatives to Via del Mare.
