Photo Confirmation : Arsenal Sign Nigerian Wonderkid Who Has Cited Iwobi As His Role Model
English Premier League club Arsenal have pulled off a transfer coup with the signing of highly-rated Nigerian youngster Jayden Adetiba.

The nine-year-old was offered a contract by The Gunners following a successful trial that latest for five weeks.

Speaking on the deal, Jayden told The Sun UK: ''I thank God and my parents for this. I am very happy. I train three times a week at the academy and we have a match at the weekend.

''The amazing thing is, I have always been an Arsenal fan and I will work hard every day to make the first team."

Jayden has cited Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo as his role model and picked Alex Iwobi as his favorite Arsenal player.

''Ronaldo because of his hard work, and Iwobi because he was at the Arsenal academy at the age of seven and now plays for the first team,'' he added.

Jayden Adetiba has joined Arsenal from South Africa's SuperSport United Soccer School.
