Is Goldenballs Junior set to be a Gunner? He could be according to the Daily Star, which claims that David Beckham's son, Brooklyn, has signed a contract with Arsenal until the end of the season.

Apparently the 15-year-old Burberry-loving youngster so impressed coaches at the Emirates that they have snapped him up for the current campaign and "there are plans for a long-term deal next summer". According to the Star Manchester United and Chelsea have both been tracking Brooklyn in recent weeks but it seems the teenager – often seen cheering on Arsenal at the Emirates in the company of Goldenballs senior – has his heart set on the Gunners.
