Ozhianvuna has a record selling price in the Irish Premier League. |
Ozhianvuna signed a pre-contract with the Gunners, officially joining the club when he turns 18 in January 2027. According to The Athletic , Arsenal spent more than the £1.6 million Tottenham spent to buy Mason Melia from St Patrick's Athletic earlier this year - a record amount for a player from the Irish National Championship.
The 16-year-old midfielder has made 15 appearances for the Shamrock Rovers first team, scoring once. He has also featured in the Conference League, demonstrating his outstanding potential despite his young age.
Arsenal have completed their medical and the deal is expected to be announced next week. Due to the rules that EU under-18 players cannot play for English clubs, Ozhianvuna will continue to stay at Shamrock Rovers.
However, Ozhianvuna promises to be the next name to succeed at first team level. In the 5-0 win over Leeds in the second round of the Premier League, coach Mikel Arteta put on the field three young players at the same time: Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Max Dowman (15 years old).
New signing Viktor Gyokeres shone with a brace, but Dowman exploded with a confident performance. With another diamond in the rough like Ozhianvuna, Arsenal continue to prove their long-term strategy of putting faith in the youth generation, along with expensive contracts for the first team.
Previously, Arsenal was very active in the transfer market this summer, spending more than 250 million pounds to bring in 7 new players.
