Manchester United defender signs for Arsenal FC

Former Manchester United defender Reuell Walters is set to join Arsenal.

The 15-year-old only moved to United last year but is now set to move on to Arsenal as part of their scholarship intake for next season.

Walters arrived at United last year following a successful trial with the club having previously been a part of the Tottenham Hotspur youth set-up.

The young right back is expected to go into the U16 side at Arsenal, becoming the latest former Spurs prospect to sign for their fierce rivals.

Arsenal also completed the signing of Jonathan Dinzeyi in the summer after he left their North London foes.

Taking to social media on Friday teenager Walters reacted to his transfer as he looks to kick start his career back in the English capital.

"New chapter. New beginning," he tweeted. "Thanks to God and everyone who has played a part in my journey so far, especially my mum, dad, sister, family, and friends. Also a very special thank you to everyone at Arsenal for believing in me. Excited to get started!"
