ARSENAL are leading the race to sign England under-17 star Mason Cotcher, with the forward on trial at the club.<\/p>\n
Cotcher, 17, has been training with the Arsenal first-team as the Gunners look to woo the forward into signing for them, according to the Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Cotcher has become one of the most sought after young talents in the country after starring for Sunderland's youth side.<\/p>\n
The forward scored nine goals in 25 games for Sunderland's under-18s and also featured in the FA Youth Cup for the Championship side.<\/p>\n
Cotcher, who can play up front or out wide was an unused substitute for the Sunderland first team in their third round FA Cup clash with Shrewsbury last season.<\/p>\n
He made his Arsenal under-18s debut against Middlesbrough in October and scored and assisted for the 18s in a game against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
