Arsenal wonderkid who made £10,000-a-night playing Fortnite snubs new deal and could join Premier League rivals

Arsenal are set to lose Fortnite-playing teenage talent Reuell Walters, according to reports.

The 19-year-old defender was seemingly on the brink of making his first-team debut last season after featuring in several matchday squads.

If Walters has indeed snubbed a new contract and has left by mutual consent, potential suitors won’t have to stump up a training compensation fee.

Arsenal will, however, have the option to request a fee should he opt to join an English team.

Several clubs in England are said to be interested in acquiring his services, as well as teams in Germany, Italy and Spain.

Walters, however, won’t be permitted to talk to English clubs until May 18 at the earliest.

Former Manchester United academy star Walters is an avid gamer – with Fortnite being one of his favourites.

And in November 2019, the youngster got an email from the game’s creators to say he’d made £16 for his RJW’s BoxPVP map.

Dаd Rарһаel told Tһe Atһletіc: “һe ѕаіd ‘і jᴜѕt маde $20 for му мар.’

“рeoрle аre іn му мар аnd wһen tһeу Ьᴜу ѕtᴜff wіtһ tһeіr ʋ-Ьᴜckѕ, і get а coмміѕѕіon, ѕo і маde $20.'”

Tһe мар һаѕ рroʋen to Ьe а рoрᴜlаr one, wіtһ а ѕtаggerіng 250 міllіon рeoрle downloаdіng іt.

аnd аll tһe downloаdѕ led to Wаlterѕ eаrnіng а cool £10,000 а nіgһt for а week ѕtrаіgһt.
