• Arsenal are reported to be pushing to position themselves ahead of Liverpool in the pursuit, with their interest framed as reinforcing depth during an injury-hit spell.
• Mokio has broken into Ajax’s senior squad, recording early-season minutes and an early goal noted among the club’s youngest scorers.
• The 17-year-old is a left-footed defensive midfielder who can also operate at centre-back and in a back-three, earning praise for composure in possession.
• Ajax prefer to keep him under a deal running to 2027, his camp acknowledges top-club interest, and no formal bids have been confirmed as they prioritize the right development pathway.
