Liverpool winger Harvey Elliott has congratulated Mika Biereth on Instagram on joining Arsenal.
What’s the story?
Arsenal have announced on their official website that Biereth has joined the Gunners.
The 18-year-old forward has put pen to paper on his first professional contract with Arsenal.
The talented and promising teenager turned down a professional contract at Fulham to move to follow London club Arsenal, as reported by The Athletic.
Harvey Elliott happy
Liverpool winger Elliott is happy to see Biereth make the switch to Arsenal.
The 18-year-old played with Biereth for the Fulham youth teams.
One for the future
Biereth is only 18, and it is clear that the forward is one for the future.
The youngster scored 21 goals in 21 games for Fulham last season, helping the London club win the U-18 Premier League south.
Biereth is likely to go into the Arsenal youth team next season and will then attempt to move up the ranks.
Arsenal have a good attacking unit now, but things always change, and the North London outfit will also want to freshen up their squad from time to time.
If Biereth continues to develop in the Arsenal academy, then he could establish himself in the senior side in the coming years.
