Gibraltar international winger James Scanlon joins Arsenal from Manchester United after a League Two loan spell with Swindon Town. Arsenal have confirmed the signing of 19-year-old winger James Scanlon from Manchester United. The Gibraltar international, who already has 24 senior caps, came through the academy at Derby County before joining Manchester United in 2021. “It’s a pleasure to be here, I can’t wait to get started,” James said, “I’ve been waiting to get this over the line, so I’m buzzing to be here. “My family are massive to me, so to have them here for this special day is only going to make it better. “I think you can see where the club’s at, [it’s] really positive and I think it’s only going to get better. “You can see that everyone here is hungrier for more, hungrier to get better and I think that’s something I believe I can add to and want to be a part of as well. “I’m a creative player, I like to score goals, assist, so hopefully I can excite players who watch me, and that’s what I’m here to do really.” Scanlon will initially link up with the Academy after spending the second half of last season on loan at Swindon Town in League Two. - Arsenal confirm signing of 19yo winger from Manchester UnitedArsenal have signed Gibraltar winger James Scanlon from Manchester United, with the 19-year-old joining the club’s academy after a Swindon Town loan. - Why Julian Alvarez won’t sign for ArsenalJulian Alvarez has told Mikel Arteta he does not want to join Arsenal, leaving the Gunners unlikely to complete a deal before the deadline. - A Beautiful Obsession: What Arsenal can learn from Pep Guardiola documentaryPep Guardiola’s Manchester City documentary offers an unexpected Arsenal lesson as Gabriel Martinelli’s future brings a difficult question into sharper focus.
