Liverpool, Arsenal Head to Tribunal Over Nigerian-Born Teen Striker Vincent Joseph

Liverpool, Arsenal Head to Tribunal Over Nigerian-Born Teen Striker Vincent Joseph

Liverpool and Arsenal are heading to a tribunal after failing to agree on compensation for Nigerian-born teenage striker Vincent Joseph. Joseph, 16, left Liverpool after turning down a scholarship offer and has joined Arsenal. Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were also reportedly interested in the young forward. Liverpool and Arsenal could not settle on a fee, so a tribunal may now decide the compensation due. A similar case saw Liverpool pay Chelsea up to £4 million for teenager Rio Ngumoha. Joseph is eligible to represent England, Germany or Nigeria. He is the younger brother of Valentin Joseph, a promising forward who recently joined Brighton.

A tribunal sounds dramatic, but this may simply be the formal route when Liverpool and Arsenal cannot settle compensation.

Whatever the outcome, keeping the focus on Joseph's development at Arsenal matters more than the compensation dispute.
