Arsenal sign highly-rated midfielder

Arsenal has announced the signing of 16-year-old midfielder Axel Donczew from Cardiff City. The Wales youth international joins the Gunners as part of their first-year scholarship intake and has signed a pre-contract agreement to move onto professional terms with the club. Donczew made history last season when he became Cardiff’s youngest-ever player after making his professional debut at just 15 years and 234 days old, and he has represented Wales at Under-15 and Under-16 levels.
