Overview

• Arsenal officially announced the agreement and released photos of Ozhianvuna with academy head Per Mertesacker.
• Reporting indicates an upfront fee of more than €2 million with add-ons that could take the package above €4 million, plus a substantial sell-on clause.
• The fee slightly exceeds the amount Tottenham paid for Mason Melia, setting a new benchmark for League of Ireland transfers.
• Ozhianvuna is a Republic of Ireland U17 international who debuted in the league this season and scored his first senior goal in the FAI Cup.
• He will stay at Tallaght Stadium until he turns 18, choosing Arsenal over potential continental moves permitted under post-Brexit rules.
