17-year-old attacking midfielder Vlad Dragomir has signed his first professional contract with the club.
The Romanian youth star joined the club in the summer of 2015 on a scholarship deal and has impressed for the under-18s since, becoming a regular in the side and training with the first-team as well as the under-21s.

Dragomir signed from Romanian side ACS Timisoara and operates in behind the centre forward. A left footed midfielder, Dragomir has a similar playing style to Spaniard Jon Toral – currently on loan at Championship side Birmingham City.
The teenager has an eye for goal and was spotted by the Arsenal scouts for his ability to create goals but Dragomir also possesses an exceptional work rate – which is testament to his love for the game.

Dragomir is likely to make the step up to under-21s football in the new season and will look to either move out on loan in the next few seasons or make the immediate step up to the first-team.
