Arsenal sign top academy talent from Scotland

Arsenal have signed promising academy talent Evan Mooney from Scottish Premiership side St Mirren.

Mooney has joined the Arsenal academy and can play as an attacking midfield or a striker. He has made 23 appearances in all competitions for St Mirren since making his senior debut at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign, and is 18-years-old.

The forward is a Scottish international and has made six appearances for his country at under-19 level.

Arsenal had also held talks with Hearts regarding another Scottish teenager, James Wilson, but he ultimately decided to join their bitter rivals Tottenham.

It was in the end a quiet transfer window for the Gunners, and they are next in action against Chelsea in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

They go into the game with a 3-2 lead on aggregate.
