Arsenal: Arsenal sign Italian starlet

Arsenal have tied down Italian starlet Arturo Lupoli on a professional contract at Highbury.

The 17-year-old joined on a scholarship from Serie A club Parma in the summer and after impressing for the Gunners' reserve side, scoring three goals in two games, Arsene Wenger was keen to keep hold of him.

Lupoli has also represented Arsenal's under-18s twice, scoring four goals.

On the international stage he has been capped by Italy at under-16 and under-17 levels.

The teenager is able to play for his new club in Europe as he was registered for the Champions League.

sounds like another of wengers amazing finds, doing well at all levels he is playing at by the sounds of it.

and arsenal have put his name down as being able to play in europe, so maybe he will feature at some stage, if not in europe as a sub, but in the league

Wenger must have some good contacts and scouts as he seems to find these players from no-where...

yer, remember in his first season when he signed anelka, possibly vieria, and a few others, it shows he could build a team without spending huge.

yer, he got a amazing scout network, he just knows who to buy
