The 20-year-old, who came through the Gunners’ academy, has struggled to break into the first team and spent the last two seasons out on loan.

Norton-Cuffy was at Millwall for the whole of last season after previously having spells at Lincoln, Rotherham and Coventry.

The right-back is now leaving Arsenal permanently and is set to undergo a medical before joining Genoa.

The Italian club have agreed a deal with Arsenal that will be worth around £3.5m and also includes a sell-on clause.

The Gunners have worked hard to use the loan market to maximise the value of their academy players and have begun to see the benefits of that this summer.

Norton-Cuffy is the latest academy product to generate a fee, with Danish striker Mika Biereth also joining Austrian side Sturm Graz for £4m last month.

Norton-Cuffy was tipped for a bright future when coming through the ranks at Arsenal and has represented England at youth level. He was part of the England Under-19 side who won the European Championship back in 2022.
