ARSENAL youngster Henri Lansbury is wanted by Watford on loan, according to reports.

The 17-year-old - who is one of the longest serving members of the Arsenal Academy - made his debut in a Carling Cup tie against Sheffield United last season.

He also came on as a substitute in Arsenal's 6-0 win over the Blades in the third round of the competition last month.

Now the Gunners want the England under-19 midfielder to get some first team experience under his belt.

And that could see the Enfield-born ace farmed out to the Hornets.
