Arsenal are ready to sign Luton Town's highly rated young goalkeeper Rob Beckwith and groom him for the future.

Beckwith has played a handful of games for the Second Division club and Gunners' scouts have recommended an immediate signing. Highbury officials are set to open negotiations if they can agree a fee with Luton, who are not in a position to turn down a reasonable bid.

Beckwith caught the eye when he was pushed into action at the start of the season. Arsenal cannot sign him until January but they want him to train with them straightaway.
