Arsenal have struck a deal that will see French teenager Gilles
Sunu move to Emirates Stadium on a four-year contract in the
summer.
A soccer website first revealed back in December that The Gunners
had won the race for the highly-rated Chateauroux striker, beating
Premiership rivals Liverpool in the process.
Now Sunu has turned 16, it has been confirmed that the French youth
international will continue his footballing education under Arsene
Wenger in North London after the two clubs came to an
agreement.
Arsenal are believed to being paying between 1-4million
(£680,000-£2.71million) for the teenager who is hoping to become
the latest French starlet to shine for The Gunners.
Sunu will move to England in July and is expected to put
pen-to-paper on the four-year deal when Chateauroux president
Michel Denisot meets Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein in April to
finally ratify the deal.
Wenger already has a fine selection of youngsters at his disposal
in North London, and the capture of Sunu demonstrates his focus on
youth recruitment shows no sign of slowing.
