The race to identify the next superstar keeps heating up, with clubs now happy to battle for young players, such as 15-year-old Justin Ejodamen.

The Borussia Dortmund sensation has been dubbed 'the next Jude Bellingham' and is wanted by some of Europe's biggest sides after impressing in Germany.

According to TEAMTalk, Premier League champions Arsenal are actively scouting the young midfielder, with the likes of Chelsea, Barcelona, and several Italian sides also keeping tabs ahead of a possible move.

Ejodamen's future is far from sorted, as the details of his deal with Borussia Dortmund are not presently known.

Who Is Borussia Dortmund Wonderkid Justin Ejodamen?

Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, Ejodamen is primarily a central midfielder capable of covering the full range of midfield roles (defensive, box-to-box, or more advanced).

The youngster has yet to be considered for the senior set-up at the Signal Iduna Park, but his youth team performances have earned him comparisons to Jude Bellingham.

He is regarded as a highly complete midfielder for his age, as he has showcased strong physical presence, excellent technical ability and ball control, and a high work rate across the pitch.

Ejodamen is renowned for his all-round midfield profile, composure, and potential to develop into a top-level midfielder.

He has represented Italy at U16 level and was called up for the national team during the September international break. He remains eligible to represent Italy, Germany or Nigeria at senior international level.

Why Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona Are Monitoring Justin Ejodamen

Ejodamen is undoubtedly regarded as one of the finest prospects in German football, at present. His quality has not gone unnoticed, and several clubs from all over Europe are queuing up for his signature.

Dortmund are keen to keep the talented midfielder after he turns 16 next April, at which point he will be eligible to sign for another EU club.

Their resolve will be tested by the number of clubs interested in the youngster, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, and AC Milan.

Arsenal’s scouting network has compiled glowing reports on the teenager, viewing him as an ideal long-term addition to their midfield rotation.

Despite the obvious bottleneck of post-Brexit restrictions, the Gunners can sign the teenager on a pre-agreement to have him join them once he turns 18.

They have signed a good number of teenage stars, including Axel Donczew, Phoenix Blayney, and Andria Bartishvili in recent months.

BVB remain keen to tie Ejodamen to a long-term professional contract to fend off foreign interest and offer a direct pathway to first-team football at Signal Iduna Park.

The Bundesliga side can point to many youngsters from within their youth ranks and outside who have progressed to becoming regulars for the first team.

They will present their project to the youngster and hope that he does not consider leaving once he turns 16.
