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.
Zelalem 'isn't close' to Dortmund
Bramall initially spent two days with the north
London club following a recommendation from
scout Brian McDermott.
And after being given the chance to showcase
his talents in front of manager Arsene Wenger,
Bramall has done enough to convince the
Premier League side to sign him up.
Speaking about the move, 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.
Campbell urges Ozil to commit
"[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."
