Heaven’s future at Arsenal has become uncertain due to his contract situation. His contract is set to expire this summer, allowing United to sign him for free, and the club has reportedly already made contact with him. Despite the club offering him a new contract, he has yet to sign it, leaving the door open for potential suitors. Arsenal’s management is reportedly concerned about losing Heaven, especially given his impressive performances and potential for growth.

Manchester United has been particularly keen on securing Heaven’s signature. Reports indicate that the Red Devils are confident of completing a deal, with Heaven even visiting Old Trafford to watch a Europa League match. Eintracht Frankfurt and Barcelona are also monitoring the situation closely, adding to the pressure on Arsenal to secure his future at the club.

The Gunners are in a difficult position as they try to balance their desire to keep Heaven with the financial realities of the modern game. Losing another young talent to a rival club would be a major blow, especially after the Red Devils signed 17-year-old Chido Obi-Martin from the Emirates last year.
