Breaking: Arsenal confirm George Lewis signing

Arsenal have announced the signing of 20-year-old winger George Lewis.

The youngster has joined the club after leaving Norwegian side Fram Larvik at the end of last season.

Lewis has played in Norway since moving to the country as a child, but has now moved to England to join up with the Gunners.

The players has signed a professional contract at the Emirates Stadium, and will initially join the club’s U23 side ahead of the new season.

Lewis has been linked with Arsenal for some time, having impressed during a trial with the club earlier in the year.

Gunners’ coaches were said to be impressed by his speed, ability to beat a defender and his versatility.

The forward is able to play anywhere along the front line, but his preferred position is on the right side of attack.

Lewis will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of players such as Reiss Nelson and Bukayo Saka, who have made the step up from the U23s to the first team this season under Mikel Arteta.

The player himself has outlined what fans can expect from him.

“My playing style is very direct. I like to dribble a lot, I like to express myself on the field, so they can expect a show from me,” he told the official website.
