Arsenal have moved to secure the services of three of the club’s most promising Under 16’s this week by offering them scholarship terms three months early.
Zach Fagan, Anthony Jeffrey and Isaac Hayden have all been offered deals while German Under 16 midfielder Serge Gnabry will sign scholarship forms when he completes his move from Stuttgart in July. The three are as yet the only youngsters who have had their futures secured, while a selection of others have had a decision put on hold.
Those who are waiting on that important call include goalkeeper Billy Duval, plus midfielders Jamal Wiseman, Alfred Martin and Jordan Palmer-Samuels. However, some have already been tolod they are feel to leave. Timothy Monsheju and Lewis Kinsella are just two of those, with the latter featuring for Chelsea’s Under 18’s this morning.
Arsenal announced 13 new scholars last year, but it seems certain the number of those getting signed this year will be dramatically less.
what about jebb and lipman? surely if they are selected for the enland u16s they must be worth a shot
What about Ashley Young’s brother and how old is he?
Jebb and Lipman are part of the year below. So they will find out next year.
Ashley Young’s brother Kyle is 14/15. He’s another of next years crop.
What about the Japanese kid
He has a broken leg. He’ll play U-18s when he gets back most likely.
wellington silva was due to arrive in london.is there any news
Great news J.. Thanks for the updates….
How good is Kyle Young?
The only player still waiting for a decision is Billy Duval, the others have been released unfortunately. Really thought Jemal would make it.
Why are we letting players go so early? Who will play in our u16s the rest of the year? The u15s??
What about Josh Siafa, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Luke Iffiel? They are U15’s too?
A.Martin, Jwbb, Lipman, Akpom and ormonde are 15 they arent released they just play up 16s.

With £50 million profit this year & similar for the next 2/3 years predicted, a very strong (young) reserve team now sitting behind the first team, perhaps the way forward will not now be SO focused on the youth team players, well in as much as holding onto players that will NOT make any headway into the first team long term anyway?
This is Arsene’s system. Bring up the studs and sell or release those surplus to requirements. We have seen that with Justin Hoyte and Luke Ayling. Get ready for a lot more. We can’t graduate five players every year into the first team but rather one or two really standout players.
This system will save Arsenal money and provide greater players.
what about alban bonjaku is he in this part or is next year
what about alban bunjaku
