The Sun reports that Arsenal will sign 16-year-old, Torric Jibril, from the Ghanaian side Hearts of Oak for £1.5million. The deal is subject to a two-week trial that will take place next month.
Torric said: “I am ready to play under coach Wenger and I will be happy to show the world what I can do.
“I like the style of play of Arsenal because of the silky skills and that is what I can add to the team.
“If I am given the chance I know I can play in the first team – I am not afraid.
“We play before big crowds and even though they call me a small boy I am not afraid of them.â€Â
The 16-year-old has been the target of several top European clubs, and his impressive display for his local club has earned him a call-up into the national team.
