Arsenal has completed the acquisition of 16-year-old midfielder Axel Donczew from Cardiff City. The young talent will commence his career at the London club through their first-year scholarship program, with an additional pre-contract agreement already in place to transition him to professional status.
Donczew made headlines last season when he became Cardiff’s youngest-ever player to feature in a professional match. At just 15 years and 234 days old, the midfielder appeared in a Welsh derby contest against Newport County in the EFL Trophy, showcasing his early potential at senior level.
The midfielder has represented Wales at the youth international level, earning caps for both Under-15 and Under-16 squads. Prior to his move to north London, Donczew had spent his entire career in Cardiff’s youth system before this transfer.
