Done.

Announce Bellerin departing.

Qwiss

This one came out of nowhere.

goon

Nice.

Sounds a bit like a cheap AI generated report. "His 183cm frame permits him to come out on top of most defensive duels" 😆 either way good signing, hope he can continue his development from before his ACL injury because then he looked like a world class midfielder in the making.

Rohit

Hope we can develop him into a top player. Now for that first team midfielder.

Sicario

So we've found our Guendouzi replacement.

If he is any good hopefully he can retire Elneny whilst he's at it.

Burnwinter

Good.

If he can't we are in big trouble.

Jed

I have a good feeling about this guy.

Anzac

Welcome the The Arsenal.

Asterix

I like this profile of signing. Hopefully he turns into a good player for us. Welcome!

banduan

Very much a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Won't take us to the next level but seals deficiencies.

Yep. No matter what happens gambling on youth profiles like this or Tavarez can never go wrong. We need to make more of such signings.

Think he will be an inspired one

Irishgunner

So is this dude likely to start ? Or more a punt for the future ? I know nothing about him

QuincyAbeyie

The latter probably.

Klaus

I can't see us spending significant money on another central midfielder. If this bloke cost >£20 million he's probably here to play.

Meatwad

yeah they are talking about him like he's some 18 year old who cost 5m or something. he's 21 and will be 22 in october and cost 20m, he's here to play.

Sicario

Lol so he is Xhaka’s replacement.

Another 8th place beckons (no matter how good this kid is he will need a year’s worth of adaption).

lorddulaarsenal

He’s come on massively on the physical front the past 6 months. Got a feeling he’ll be bossy for us

I think management are suspect, but there's no way partey, el neny and lokonga are our only centre mids going into next season.
