Man Utd & Arsenal go head-to-head in battle for Reading goalkeeper Boyce-Clarke

Manchester United and Arsenal are interested in signing young Reading goalkeeper Coniah Boyce-Clarke.

Boyce-Clarke only turned 16 in March but has already been starring for Reading's Under 23 team.

United were impressed by the England Under 16 international when the Royals faced them earlier in the season.

Boyce-Clarke has multiple offers on the table - including a new contract at the Madejski Stadium - and is set to make a decision on his future after completing his GCSEs.

The stopper, who is already 6ft 3in, won the Golden Glove award at last year's prestigious Val De Marne tournament in France.

Several Premier League clubs have kept tabs on the teenager this season, particularly given Reading handed him an Under 23 debut when only 15.

Reading are second in the Premier League 2 second division, while coaches at St George's have high hopes for Boyce-Clarke.
