Arsenal have completed the signing of Joel Lopez after he rejected a deal from Barcelona this summer, according to Talksport.
The 16-years-old has ended a nine-year stay in Spain going ahead to new challenges in England with Arsenal.
As he rejected the contract offer from Barcelona the Gunners will only have to pay a compensation fee and have landed the promising youngster.
He wanted to further his career due to a real lack of opportunities at the Spanish giants.
The player will go straight into the clubs under 18 side and will then look to progress in the under-23’s in further times.
He plays as a left-back primarily, but can also play as part of a back three something which he did in his time at Barcelona.
Arsenal’s head of recruitment Raul Sanllehi has played a key role in getting him to the club after recently moving from Barcelona himself.
