Arsenal fail in bid for Legia Warsaw teenager Krystian Bielik - reports

Arsenal have had a second bid rejected by Legia Warsaw for their teenage midfielder Krystian Bielik, according to multiple reports.

Bielik, 17, is viewed as an emerging prospect by the Gunners, but Legia, who only signed the player last year and have him under contract until 2017, are holding out for a fee in excess of two million pounds.

The midfielder, who is 6-foot-2, told the Polish press of being impressed by Arsenal during a trip to England before Christmas.

In an interview reported on www.legia.sport.pl, he said: "I hope that the two clubs come together and I go to London to fulfil my dreams. He [Wenger] knows that I have the skills, am determined to win and he wants to sign me as soon as possible to start working with me.''

Information from the Press Association was used in this report.
