Arsenal working to sell player “once considered one of the brightest prospects at Hale End”, says journalist | OneFootball

Arsenal are reportedly working on a Deadline Day deal for young midfielder Miguel Azeez to leave the club for a move to Spain.

It will be interesting to see if there are further deals like this in the coming hours as AFC show a willingness to cash in on their academy, which could likely be highly beneficial for Financial Fair Play purposes.
