Arsenal confirm youth signings of Hein, Lopez and Greenwood

Arsenal have confirmed the youth signings of goalkeeper Karl Hein, left-back Joel Lopez and striker Sam Greenwood. The three new arrivals have signed as first-year scholars and will look to make a successful transition into first-teamers in time.

Hein joined Arsenal from Estonian side FC Nomme United. The 16-year-old, who has represented Estonia at u17 level, has stiff competition in the senior set-up from Petr Cech, Bernd Leno, Emiliano Martinez and Matt Macey, but he has plenty of time to develop.

Lopez was signed from Barcelona’s La Masia academy and could have a bright future.
