! doubt they'll be joining our academy, if they are looking for professional contracts they must be 18 or approaching that age so probably not eligible for the academy.

So on trial or being offered contracts?

I thought Arsenal's academy players played yesterday? Surely we're not stealing their first teamers

Two of Arsenal’s second year scholars, Callum Webb and Steven Smith, have left the club to join Leicester City.

Defensive-minded midfielder Webb, who is a Republic of Ireland youth international, made 27 appearances for the under-18s, scoring twice, and also made two substitute appearances for the Reserves last season.

Smith, meanwhile, has opted to join Leicester following a trial with West Ham earlier in the summer. The versatile Northern Ireland youngster, who can play at centre-back and left-back as well as in midfield, turned out 11 times for Steve Bould’s under-18s last campaign.
