Making the move from the Midlands to north London as a teenager might faze some players - but not Lino Sousa.
The powerful left back signed professional terms with us on Friday, and is already loving life in our academy.

on how he’s settled in…
I feel good. The players have made me feel welcome and I’ve been with the under-18s and under-23s as well, so it’s all good and they’re a good bunch of lads.
on already making his debut for the under-18s…
It was a good feeling!
