After weeks of speculation, Arsenal finally announced the signing of Krystian Bielik from Legia Warsaw for an undisclosed fee, which is believed to be around £2.5 million

A statement from Arsenal read:

“Arsenal have completed the signing of 17-year-old midfielder Krystian Bielik from Legia Warsaw for an undisclosed fee.”

Arsene Wenger is previously known to have three players – first choice, a backup and a prodigy and he now seems to bring the tradition back with the signing of the Polish youth international, with Mikel Arteta and Francis Coquelin taking up the other roles.

The teenager is believed to be a good header of the ball and his towering figure could be a valuable asset for the team. Arsenal manager has succeeded in bringing down yet another versatile player as he could also fill in at centre-back.

Arsene Wenger is no stranger to giving youngsters the opportunity to shine and it is rumoured that he could make the bench as visit American Express Community Stadium for their FA Cup fixture against Brighton.

I don't think Wenger can change. He's still the old miser. Wenger would be the first to sells player and be the last to buy player. Gosh!

It's no surprise that Wenger has signed a 17year old for as cheap as £2.5. He is always the old stubborn Wenger and can never learn from previous mistakes. The same very insensitive Wenger who has lost count of the numerous devoted fans who acquired high BP because of his stingy decision, who will price every good player but ends up buying cheap and underage. Transfer window will close but Wenger will end up with this Bielick. What an unambitious Wenger. How long shall we continue with gunning for 4th position? Arsenal directors should quickly come to the aid of very devoted fans.
