We reported on Wednesday that Arsenal agreed a deal with FC Nomme United to sign highly-rated goalkeeper Karl Jacob Hein. The teenager, pictured alongside Mart Poom, will sign a three-year professional deal with Arsenal when he turns 17 in April next year.
It’s the first signing since Unai Emery replaced Arsene Wenger as head coach and won’t be the last this summer. Hein was initially on trial with the Gunners and managed to impress enough to earn a contract. Before signing his pro deal next year, the 16-year-old will spend time in Arsenal’s academy.
