Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Remi Lupinski from MK Dons, confirming that the goalkeeper is joining on a scholarship deal.

“I’m lost for words, it’s amazing to sign for Arsenal,” Lupinski said. “It’s going to be unbelievable, and I’m looking forward to playing for this great club, and I just can’t wait to get started.”

Lupinski had been part of the MK Dons Academy since the age of seven, and he first trained with the senior side as an u14 player. Though he didn’t make it into an official matchday squad, he did join the first team on matchdays for warmups.

MK Dons Academy Manager Ben Smith said: “We are incredibly proud of Rem’s achievements, demonstrating dedication, hard work, and unquestionable skill.

“His development over the past few seasons has been outstanding, and it is a testament to he and his family’s commitment and practice.

“We look forward to seeing Rem continue to progress, and we’re excited about what the future holds for him.”

Arsenal have been on a youth recruitment drive this summer, having already signed Callan Hamill from St. Johnstone, Marcell Washington on a free transfer from Chelsea, and Demiane Agustien from Derby County.

The Gunners also made a serious move to sign youth striker Will Wright from Salford City, but the striker ultimately opted to remain in the north west and join Liverpool.

Arsenal could turn back to Blackburn Rovers youth forward Igor Tyjon as a result, having already seen one bid turned down by Rovers.
