Arsenal have completed the signing of Ceadach O’Neill from Linfield, with the prospect signing scholarship terms.
According to Kilrea GAC, O’Neill has signed a three year contract with Arsenal. This suggests that he will sign professional terms when he turns 17 in April 2025.
The 16-year-old, who can play as a winger or an attacking midfielder, has already played for Linfield at senior level and is a Northern Ireland U17 international.
O’Neill was previously involved with Arsenal U17s as a trialist at the Flamengo Adidas Cup in Brazil.
It is anticipated that Arsenal’s scholarship intake will be announced soon as the wait goes on to see whether Chido Martin Obi will remain at the club.
