Arsenal have Completed the signing of 16-year-old striker Donyell Malen from Dutch club Ajax.
The youngster, already a youth international for Netherlands, was expected to stay at Ajax but has opted to develop with the Gunners instead.
Ajax's head of youth development, Wim Jonk, lamented his departure but says that Arsenal have star potential on their hands.
"Donyell is a great talent," Jonk told the club's official website.
"It is extremely unfortunate that he is leaving Ajax.
"We have made him an excellent offer and presented a clear development plan but the player has still made another choice, which is disappointing.
"The potential is clear and the opportunities will come with Ajax. We are continuing with the guys who do believe in it."
