Following the completion of his transfer to Arsenal, youth prospect Mishel Nduka has shared a message on Instagram about the move.
“Proud to sign for such a big club like Arsenal,” Nduka wrote. “I would like to thank my family who have supported me along the way. All praise to God, now it’s time to get to work!”

Images on social media earlier this week confirmed that Nduka had signed for Arsenal, completing a long-rumoured transfer from Charlton Athletic.
Those same reports had revealed that Arsenal fought off interest from the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers to make the signing, and that the 15-year-old will initially go into the Arsenal u16 squad, potentially also making some appearances for the u18s.
Nduka had already made his Charlton u18 debut, as well as receiving a call-up from the England u15s. It may not be quite so easy for him to break into the u18 team at Arsenal, but at 15 years old he has plenty of time to do so.

Arsenal have made a few youth signings this summer, with Remy Mitchell returning to the club after running down his contract with Haringey, Marcell Washington joining from Chelsea, Callan Hamill from St. Johnstone, Remi Lupinski from MK Dons, and Demiane Agustien from Derby County.
The Gunners made bids for at least two more players, but they saw their pursuit of Salford City’s Will Wright hijacked by Liverpool and multiple bids rejected for Igor Tyjon of Blackburn Rovers. It’s been a busy summer of recruitment at all levels at Arsenal.
