Arsenal youngster joins Manchester City

Arsenal academy midfielder Mishel Nduka has completed a permanent move to Manchester City after officially confirming the transfer on social media. The 16-year-old had initially reached an agreement with City in July after rejecting a competitive contract extension offer from Arsenal. He is set to join Manchester City on scholarship terms, which will be followed by a professional contract.

Nduka leaves Arsenal less than a year after arriving from Charlton Athletic. Because of his age, Arsenal will receive a compensation fee for the midfielder, who made 10 appearances for Arsenal's under-18 team in the 2025/26 season alongside appearances in the UEFA Youth League and Premier League 2.
