Official: Manchester United win race for Arsenal talent Heaven

Manchester United have been actively poaching young Arsenal prospects in recent months. Following the signing of Chido Obi-Martin, another promising Gunners player has now made the move to Old Trafford.

Details: United have announced the signing of 18-year-old centre-back Ayden Heaven. The defender has signed a contract until June 2029, with an option for an additional year. Notably, this is not an academy signing, as the club has confirmed that Heaven will immediately strengthen the first-team squad.

Reminder: The 18-year-old centre-back made his senior debut for Arsenal earlier this season and has represented England at the U19 level. Eintracht Frankfurt had also been competing for his signature.
