Arsenal have confirmed the signing of free agent Jonathan Dinzeyi, after the centre-back was released by Tottenham this summer.
The Gunners have moved to strengthen their youth ranks in recent weeks with the arrivals of Tim Akinola and George Lewis.
And the latest signing comes in the shape of 20-year-old centre-back Dinzeyi, who came through the Tottenham Hotspur academy.
In a statement on the official club website, Arsenal said: "Jonathan Dinzeyi has joined Arsenal on a professional contract.
"The 20-year-old joins us as a free agent and will join up with our under-23s and academy players ahead of the new season.
"The London-born defender who predominantly operates in central defence, developed through Tottenham Hotspur’s Academy, where he played until recently.
"We all welcome Jonathan to Arsenal and look forward to supporting him with his continued development.
"The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes."
Taking to social media, Arsenal supporters responded to the announcement by calling for the confirmation of Gabriel Magalhaes.
A deal to sign the Lille centre-back is thought to have been agreed, with the Brazilian to undergo a medical before sealing a £25million move.
The 22-year-old has at the centre of a transfer battle between Arsenal and Napoli as both teams look to bolster their central defensive options before the summer window closes at the beginning of October.
This transfer saga took a fresh twist when Manchester United reportedly entered the race which caused a delay over Gabriel decision.
However, the Gunners have won the race for the central defender's signature.
