Arsenal have agreed a record-breaking deal to sign highly-touted Irish teenager Victor Ozhianvuna from Shamrock Rovers.

The 16-year-old, who has already made his senior debut in the Irish top flight, has agreed terms that will see him join the Gunners when he turns 18 in January of 2027.

Ozhianvuna has already completed his medical ahead of the move.

Mikel Arteta's side will pay a record fee for a League of Ireland player to secure Ozhianvuna's services, according to a report from The Athletic.

The move comes just months after Tottenham broke the record by paying £1.
