Arsenal Sign Scottish Youngster Callan Hamill from St Johnstone
Arsenal have completed the signing of highly-rated Scottish centre-back Callan Hamill from St Johnstone for a six-figure fee.
The 15-year-old defender has put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the Gunners, choosing to move to North London despite strong interest from Celtic and Rangers.
Hamill, who has been regarded as one of Scotland’s brightest defensive prospects, impressed scouts with his performances at youth level for St Johnstone. His composure on the ball and defensive intelligence caught the attention of multiple clubs, but Arsenal managed to secure his signature ahead of their domestic and European rivals.
The young centre-back is expected to join Arsenal’s academy setup, where he will continue his development under the club’s highly regarded youth coaches.
St Johnstone will receive a six-figure compensation fee for the player, a significant boost for the Scottish Premiership club’s academy system.
Hamill’s move to Arsenal highlights the club’s continued focus on recruiting top young talents from across Europe, following in the footsteps of other promising youngsters who have made the switch to the Emirates in recent years.
Arsenal fans will now be eager to see how the Scottish starlet progresses in his new environment.
