Jorge Resurrection Merodio, known as Koke Resurreccion, is apparently being keenly tracked by Premier League giants Arsenal, according to the Daily Star.

Born in 1992, the 17-year-old Atlético B player is a defensive midfielder of some promise and is said to be on the fringes of the Atleti first-team set-up.

The Spanish club are keen on hanging onto the hot prospect, although Arsenal's at times bullish insistence on dragging young talent through the ranks is obviously a draw for Europe's fledgling stars.

Resurreccion has been involved at youth levels for Spain and is the most highly rated of a strong, enthusiastic B side which also features Cedric Mabwati and Sergio 'Keko' Gonten - two more tipped for big things in their careers.
