Overview

• Arsenal confirmed an agreement with Shamrock Rovers for Republic of Ireland youth international Victor Ozhianvuna, with his move scheduled for January 2027.
• FA and Premier League regulations preventing overseas signings under 18 mean he will remain with Shamrock Rovers until he turns 18.
• Reports indicate an initial fee of around €2 million, with add-ons potentially lifting the total above €4 million and a substantial sell-on clause included.
• The fee is reported to surpass the previous League of Ireland record set by Tottenham’s deal for Mason Melia.
• Ozhianvuna has made 16 senior appearances, scored in the FAI Cup and became the Conference League’s second-youngest player, and he has a four-and-a-half-year contract starting upon arrival.
