Arsenal have signed Jordan McEneff.
According to the Derry Journal, Arsenal have signed Ireland youth international Jordan McEneff.
The teenager has signed a scholarship deal with the Gunners, and is hoping to go one better than his brother.
Aaron McEneff was part of Tottenham Hotspur’s academy and played in the same side as first team ace Harry Winks, but left the club in 2015 to return to Ireland with Derry City.

The 21-year-old had signed a pro deal with Spurs in 2012 and his younger brother Jordan will hope for better fortunes at Arsenal.
He said: “With Aaron being over before, he’s been able to tell me a lot about it. He’s told me about the mistakes he made and is helping me make sure I don’t make the same.
“I think he got a bit homesick and had a few injuries and it was a lot to do with being mentally ready for it over here.”
Jordan McEneff will join Arsenal’s under-18 side and attempt to work his way up through the system to the first team.
His brother Aaron is flourishing playing regularly for Derry City at present, scoring six goals in his last 15 games for the League of Ireland side.
