Arsenal make FIRST summer signing
ARSENAL have reportedly completed the signing of Romanian wonderkid Vlad Dragomir.
Vlad Dragomir is set to join Arsenal
Gunners fans are anxiously awaiting confirmation that Petr Cech has joined from Chelsea after a £10.9million fee was agreed yesterday.
But reports in Romania suggest hat Dragomir may be unveiled ahead of the Czech goalkeeper.
In my opinion, Vlad is one of the most talented players in Europe at the moment.
The 16-year-old ACS Poli Timisoara star is set to officially join the Gunners on June 29 after signing a deal with the club today.
The player's agent Catalin Sarmasan told Romanian website Prosport: "I proposed a move to Arsenal a year and a half ago, and they have monitored him closely since then.
"In my opinion, Vlad is one of the most talented players in Europe at the moment."
Inter Milan and Monaco were both interested in Dragomir but Arsene Wenger's reputation for developing talent is said to have been the deciding factor in favour of the Gunners.
Arsenal are expected to pay around £70,000 in compensation for the youngster.
