Arsenal Confirm Signing Of Midfielder Francis Coquelin
Posted on 19. Jul, 2008 by Milox in Premiership
Arsenal have confirmed their third signing of the summer, young French midfielder Francis Coquelin.
An article on the Gunners’ official website confirms that Arsene Wenger has signed his third player of the summer - and second French midfielder. Francis Coquelin has joined the club from French third division side Laval.
The 17-year-old midfielder impressed during a trial in north London last season and passed a medical in May.
“Arsenal have signed French midfield player Francis Coquelin on professional terms,” said the statement.
“The 17-year-old has joined from SASP Stade Lavallois Mayeene MFC.”
Laval revealed last month that Coquelin, who had not signed a first professional contract with them, was free to move on.
Arsenal are therefore believed to have signed him without having to pay a transfer fee.
Reports suggest that Werder Bremen’s Amaury Bischoff could be the next youngster to join the Gunners.
