Arsenal sign 10-year-old wonderkid Leo Messo

Arsenal have signed 10-year-old wonderkid, Leo Messo, presenting him with a special FIFA card upon his arrival.

The young prospect was given a tour of the academy set-up and met former Gunners centre-back Per Mertesacker in the process.

Mertesacker is the current academy manager of Arsenal and so will oversee the progression of their newest recruit.

The pair had a photo taken together as Messo holds up a personalised Arsenal shirt with Numer 9 on the back.

The young Kenyan wore an Arsenal tracksuit while being shown around his new club.

At the end of the video, he can then be seen posing with a FIFA card with his face on.

And Arsenal had it specially made so that all his attributes were 99.

The Gunners have an impressive reputation for bringing academy players through in recent years.

Current first-team stars such as Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah have all come through the youth team at Arsenal.
