Wenger snaps up prodigal young defender…
Arsenal have finalised a deal for Charlton Athletic’s Nigerian central-defensive wonderkid Semi Ajayi.
The player confirmed the deal via his Twitter account, yesterday, after completing a successful trial with the Premier League giants.
Ajayi has represented Nigeria at various youth levels, and joins a talented roster of young players hoping to eventually get into Arsene Wenger’s first-team at the Emirates.
Ajayi spent last season on loan at Dartford, a non-league club, but he will now join former Charlton academy graduate Carl Jenkinson at Arsenal.
Delighted to announce that I have officially signed for @Arsenal FC. Can’t wait to see what the next two seasons here have in store for me.
