The scout reports...

Egyptian full-back Milo has emerged as a reported target for Arsenal in the past week, and the Sky Sports Scout has taken the chance to cast his eye over the youngster. The 21-year-old left-back currently plays for Haras El Hodood in his native Alexandria. He has come to the attention of foreign scouts in recent years after his participation in the famous Toulon Tournament in France in 2009 and 2012. French side Lyon have been on his trail since 2009 whilst Portuguese giants Benfica and Sporting Lisbon have both joined the chase in recent weeks. He has now caught the eye of Arsenal scouts and they are ready to follow his progress at the Olympic football tournament later this year. The pressure could now be on the young full-back, knowing a good performance in Britain could see him earn a move to one of Europe's biggest leagues. But is he ready? Well, Milo is a very accomplished defender. And unlike many 'modern' full-backs, he is first and foremost a defender. A good tackler, who reads the game very well - which has means he has also been utilised as a sweeper for his club side. Milo's attacking ability is not his prime asset, but he is quick and the ability to get forward is there and, coupled with good passing, he has all the qualities of an exceptional full-back.

The scout says...

Milo is an excellent defender and it is not hard to see why he is attracting interest as despite his age he is hugely accomplished. A good performance at the Olympics could see him earn a big-money move.
