Arsenal youngster Jordi Osei-Tutu has signed his first professional contract with the club. The young Englishman joined the Gunners in the summer from Championship side Reading and featured for the U21 side during their pre-season fixture against Bournemouth.
The Arsenal Website reports that the 18-year-old has signed his first senior contract with the club and is looking forward to carrying on playing for the Gunners.

Osei-Tutu plays mainly as a right-back but has been utilised on the wing and even in midfield thanks to his pace and skill on the ball. It remains yet to be seen, however, whether the young full-back will play for the U18 side on a regular basis.
The English defender will be hoping to impress this season with the youth teams so as to build up his reputation and possibly catch the eye of first team manager Arsene Wenger in the hopes of earning a few minutes for the senior team.
