Arsenal Football Club have announced the signing of young midfielder, Krystian Bielik.
The 17-year-old has joined from Legia Warsaw for an undisclosed fee and can play in the centre of the midfield as well as at centre-back.
Bielik featured six times in all competitions for Warsaw’s first-team, including one Europa League appearance.
Arsene Wenger said: “He’s a defensive midfielder, he is 6ft 2ins, he has a good energy level and a good technical level. Is £2m a lot of money? It is less than that but yes, it is a lot of money for a player if he doesn’t succeed. If he does succeed, it’s cheap.
“Of course, it’s a gamble. But on what we saw, it’s a gamble worth taking.”
