The 16 year - old has been linked with a
move to the Emirates for some time, and was expected to be
confirmed around the same time as recent signing Kelechi Nwakali, but the player's
academy was not keen on the deal.
Although he's been here a while, the club
confirmed that Ian Jones had
moved from Blackburn to replace Chris Sulley as head of
academy coaching while Jack Higgins has taken the education role vacated by Pat McKiernan.
