Arsenal, Liverpool and Vincent Joseph
Thursday
Arsenal and Liverpool are heading to a tribunal after failing to agree compensation for 16-year-old Vincent Joseph. The teenager rejected a Liverpool scholarship and joined Arsenal despite interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Liverpool and Arsenal held compensation talks after Joseph’s departure but could not reach common ground. A tribunal will now determine the development fee owed to Liverpool, escalating a youth-transfer dispute between the two Premier League rivals.
