Arsenal tracking Alloa teenager

Noel Makombo pitched up at Alloa and scored an astonishing six goals in his debut game for the under-19s.

Now the 16-year-old, 6ft 2in French striker has attracted the attention of several big English clubs, including Arsenal.

Makombo is poised to become the youngest player to pull on an Alloa first-team jersey tomorrow in a second division match against Stranraer at Recreation Park and Paul Hartley says he has high hopes for the product of the Sochaux youth academy.
