Arsenal defender Marc Bola has confirmed that he has signed his first professional contract with the club, via social media.
After an impressive campaign with the under-18s, the 18-year-old left back has been in magnificent form for the under-21s over the past season and will look to fight his way into the first-team picture in the next couple of seasons.

Bola impressed at the heart of the defence in an unfamiliar role alongside Krystian Bielik on Monday night against Manchester City in the FA Youth Cup but was sent off in the second half after a slip led to him leaving the north London side with an uphill task which ultimately proved to be too much.
With only Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs as senior left sided defenders in the side ahead of him, the Hale End graduate, Bola has the opportunity to stake his claim for a place in the first-team.
The teenager joined the club from a young age and has graduated through academy ranks to establish himself.
