Juventus and Arsenal are set to battle Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund for the signature of Danish ace Pione Sisto.

The 20-year-old, born in Uganda of South Sudanese parents, currently plays forĀ Superliga club FC Midtjylland and was part of the Denmark Under 21 teamĀ that lost to Sweden in the European Championship semi final only last Saturday.

According to De Telegraaf, a whole host of top sides sent scouts to watch the midfielder throughout much of last season, who is now set to spark off a bidding war between some of Europe’s heavyweight footballing outfits.

Despite not being a Danish citizen, Sisto was recently given dispensation by Fifa to represent Denmark without having to wait the obligatory five years after his 18th birthday.
