Premier League side Arsenal have completed the signing of 19-year-old midfielder Tim Akinola who was recently released by another English club Huddersfield.
Tim Akinola is so lucky to the level that Arsenal failed to give him a trial despite being a 19-year-old player as they signed him straight away.
According to the report on UK Mirror, Arsenal chiefs were impressed with the analysis of Tim Akinola's games so far which made them to sign him.
Akinola who is eligible to play for both Nigeria and England only got into the academy system with Mansfield aged 16 before moving to Lincoln City in 2018/19.
He was named on the bench by Danny Cowley in the Checkatrade Trophy and featured in the FA Youth Cup before a loan spell at Lincoln United in the eighth tier.
If Tim should impress Mikel Arteta during the pre-season training, then he might get the chance to start with Arsenal next season in the Premier League.
Arsenal will be playing in the Europa League next season thanks to their brilliant win over Chelsea in the FA Cup which gave the Gunners the ticket to Europe.
