Overview

• Multiple outlets report Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Victor Ozhianvuna from Shamrock Rovers, with the fee described as a record for a League of Ireland player and the exact terms undisclosed.
• Reports attribute the record label to a sum said to exceed Tottenham’s £1.6 million outlay for Mason Melia earlier this year.
• Owing to eligibility regulations, Ozhianvuna cannot move immediately and is slated to link up with Arsenal upon turning 18 in 2027.
• The Daily Mail, as cited in subsequent coverage, reports he has completed a medical, though this detail has not been publicly confirmed by the clubs.
• The highly rated midfielder has already made his senior debut and featured for Ireland at youth level, and the move aligns with Arsenal’s emphasis on developing teenagers such as Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman.
