Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is ready to give Jordi Osei-Tutu a chance next season.
Arteta is in the market for a right-back this summer.
However, he could turn to youth prospect Osei-Tutu to fill the position.
The 21-year-old has been on loan to German second division side Bochum this season, but Arteta believes he could provide strong competition to Hector Bellerin next term.
Osei-Tutu's current expires at the end of this month.
