Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is set to lock up another teenage Spanish prodigy by the name of Ignasi Miquel. After being tracked by the likes of Barcelona, Manchester United and Valencia, the towering 6'2" center back will join the Gunners when he turns sixteen in September. 

Once part of the Barcelona youth academy, Miquel follows in the footsteps of Cesc Fabregas after signing with English powerhouses Arsenal. The management at the Emirates will be hoping that the young Spainard could eventually fill the void that will be left by skipper William Gallas.
