Transfer: Arsenal sign Habeeb Ogunneye

Arsenal have announced the signing of 20-year-old full-back Habeeb Ogunneye from Manchester United. The Premier League champions confirmed the signing on their official website, though they did not disclose the length or financial details of the deal. Ogunneye, a London-born Nigerian, spent 15 years at Manchester United, progressing through their academy system before making his debut in an FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest in February 2024.

Despite being called up for 10 first-team matches, he failed to make a competitive appearance for the Red Devils. Before joining Arsenal, Ogunneye spent the first half of the previous season on loan at Newport County, where he played 15 matches and scored once. He was subsequently recalled by Manchester United. The young defender is expected to start his career at Arsenal in the youth team, while also training with the first team, especially during international breaks when senior players may be away for international duty.
