Ayden Heaven, a promising 18-year-old center-back from Arsenal's youth academy, is in ongoing contract extension talks with Arsenal. Despite the negotiations, no breakthrough has been achieved yet. Ajax Amsterdam is also interested in acquiring Heaven if he decides not to stay in London.

Ayden Heaven is being monitored by Marseille, among other top European clubs. He is due to become a free agent next summer, and Marseille is interested in landing him.
