[RealGunner]

who dat

[Hapless_Hans]

Dayot Upamecano

Even though this sounds like a made up name, the kid does exist and is actually even called Dayotchanculle Upamecano.

Surely one of the best names out there.

Is going to RB Leipzig though.

Hearing Arsenal have won the race to sign Hednesford Town's Cohen Bramall, the 20-year-old left-back. Will be confirmed this week #AFC

doesn't even have a transfermarkt entry lmao

[Jay29]

Hednesford Town are in Northern Premier League Premier Division ffs

He's had trials with us (confirmed by his club). Seems like it's another Jenkinson situation - the only first team football he had was Conference football.

Just to put the step-up into perspective: Hednesford would need to be promoted six times to reach the Premier League.

Imagine being that guy. You'd be happy if a League 2 side wanted you, nevermind a Premier League club.

Next Ashley Cole IMO

[Jay29]

Apparently he's a former sprinter and extremely quick. Coupled with being left footed you can see how he became a non-league full back.

[Sina]

Arsenal will complete the signing of Hednesford defender Cohen Bramall in the next 48 hours, according to Sky sources.

Considering we have no quality defenders in our youth system, he can't be that bad.

Cohen Bramall, a former sprinter, will cost Arsenal just £40,000. Wenger has drawn similarities between him & "a young Ashley Cole". #afc pic.twitter.com/5br2g0wMRN

wow

[Sina]

[CBarca]

He's going from non league to being in FIFA

Wtf

[Jay29]

Pretty sure he isn't even in Football Manager's database The Journey in FIFA should be based on this.

It's not that surprising for us, though. We signed Jenkinson on the back of one season of Conference football and Ryo Miyaichi while he was playing for his university. Then there's guys like Amaury Bischoff and Yaya Sanogo who had long term injuries.

.. and all of them have turned out to be successful and shrewd signings

Gnabry and now this

[urbaNRoots]

Meh not really bothered about Zelalem, never improved physically to play top flight football, defensively he is mediocre and in attack he is average. Dortmund are just gambling on young players all over the world right now in the hopes that some of them actually become good.

[Jay29]

Losing Zelalem is nowhere near as bad as losing Gnabry. Gnabry was first team ready, is already proving his talent in a poor team and attracting interest from bigger club. Zelalem has yet to kick on from a decent loan with Rangers and has gone missing in our U23s to the extent he isn't first choice there anymore.

It's a shame he won't be able to make an impact with us after showing what a brilliant passer of the ball he is, but this isn't a position we're struggling in at either senior or youth level.

read that too. Seems plausible but still sketchy with no verification that it's true.


Also, Dimitri Payet has apparently told West Ham he won't play for them again after they rejected a £20m bid from Marseille. Billic says West Ham won't sell. We were linked and he's flirted with us, not that they'd sell for anything reasonable since they rejected that bid but worth throwing out there.

[El Gunner]

I wouldn't mind Payet. Especially if Ozil wants to leave at the end of the season.
