Arsenal Sign Up Eight New Scholars

Liam Brady is putting the finishing touches to Arsenal’s Under 18 squad for next season, with Steve Bould set to boast one of his most exciting crops of talent ever. Young Guns can confirm Hale End products Isaac Hayden, Anthony Jeffrey and Zak Fagan have all penned scholarship contracts, as have summer recruits Jon Toral, Héctor Bellerín, Serge Gnabry, Leander Siemann and Kristoffer Olsson. Bould’s Under 18′s will also be boosted by the promotion of several of Steve Gatting’s promising Under 16′s. Brady has personally asked the head teachers of Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill, Jack Jebb and Joshua Vickers if they can leave school a year early to move to London Colney full time. All have accepted. The club are still waiting on answers from strikers Austin Lipman and Chuba Akpom. All Under 18′s are due back for pre-season next week.
