Atlético de Madrid have completed the signing of Belgian teenager Arthur Vermeeren.
Vermeeren is widely regarded as one of the hottest prospects in European football having played nearly 50 times for Belgian champions Royal Antwerp since his debut in 2022.
Vermeeren also made his Champions League debut earlier this season as well as turning out twice for the Belgium national team.
Atleti have beaten off reported interest from the likes of Juventus and Ajax for the midfielder, who joins on a six and a half year deal.
