The performance of a young loanee could change Mikel Arteta transfer plans for Arsenal this summer.
Arteta and Gunners director Edu have been looking at right-back options to compete with Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Cedric Soares' future is up in the air after his agent contacted several European clubs last month about a switch.
But it might not matter as Arsenal loanee Brook Norten-Cuffy has emerged as an option for Arteta.
The 18-year-old joined Lincoln City in January on a short-team deal and has so far excelled with the League One club.
Arteta and academy chief Per Mertesacker have both been impressed with the youngster, per football.london.
The news could help Arsenal use their financial resources elsewhere as they look to sign a top-class striker.
Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both free agents in a few months, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left for Barcelona in January.
On Norten-Cuffy, Lincoln boss Michael Appleton recently stated he would be stunned if the Englishman didn't make it in the Premier League.
"We've got a right back that we've brought in from Arsenal who's not bad also," said Appleton.
"I think there's going to be a lot of people who are going to be interested in Brooke between now and the end of the season.
"He's a player that personally – and I don't like singling out too many people, but I'll be amazed if he doesn't play in the Premier League"
