Arsenal sign PSG’s Yacine Adli

Arsenal have completed the signing of Yacine Adli from PSG.

For the record, at the time of writing neither Arsenal nor PSG have confirmed the Yacine Adli transfer.

Nevertheless, RMC Sport claim to have the terms of the deal. They’ve announced that Adli has signed a three-year contract with the Gunners.

Who is Yacine Adli?

Adli is 17 years old and has been highly praised by many people, as well as being one of PSG’s best academy players. Adli is an attacking midfielder who can also drop back to play centre midfield.

The young Frenchman has impressed throughout his time at PSG’s academy, including last season where he was one of PSG’s best players in the UEFA Youth League.

Adli’s excellent displays for PSG’s academy have also earned him call-ups for France at U16, U17 and U18 level.

While playing for France Adli has scored 13 goals in 23 appearances, a very impressive record for an attacking midfielder.

RMC Sport note that even before Arsenal appointed Unai Emery as their new boss, the Gunners were looking at Adli.
