Arsenal have confirmed they have completed the signing of non-league star Cohen Bramall from Hednesford Town. The left-back will join up with the Gunners' under-23 side after impressing in a recent trial. Speaking about the move, manager Arsene Wenger told the club's
official website: “I believe that when
you go down [to non-league football], there’s mental selection.
"It’s a mental test - do you love football enough?
"Are you ready enough to fight [to show] that you are above this level and that you absolutely want to come back?
"Players like Giroud and Koscielny have had that test. They are similar to that. Once they get up, they really mean it.
"[Bramall] is a young, promising left back who has a lack of experience at the top level but who has fantastic ingredients.
"He has tremendous pace, a good left foot, a great desire to do well. Overall, he’s a very exciting prospect."
