Academy forward Ceadach O'Neill has signed his first professional contract at Arsenal.

The 17-year-old put pen to paper on the deal at Sobha Realty Training Centre last week.

“I'm delighted to be signing my first professional contract,” he said, having moved to Arsenal from Linfield in 2024. “I knew it was going to be a bit of a challenge moving over, but I think I settled in well.

“My first game we played West Ham away and I scored two, so it was a good start to the season. I think a winger needs to be able to score goals, so it's something that I'm working on, just trying to get better at in the future.
