The 18-year-old is a versatile player, can be used in variety of midfield positions.
Kennedy is currently impressing in the League Two, he has scored three goals in ten games for Stevenage so far this season.
The Northern Irish midfielder has been tipped as a future star and the reports believe that Arsene Wenger is likely to win the race.
Arsenal scouts have been keeping tabs on him in the past few games.
The Gunners have a good history of developing teenagers under the French boss Arsene Wenger and it could be a positive point which might lead Kennedy to join the Emirates side.
However, Spurs have also started to do the same under new boss Mauricio Pochettino who has been giving opportunities to youngsters. Harry Kane is one of its example.
