Arsenal sign 15-year-old Barcelona youngster and Germany youth international Georgios Spanoudakis 

Arsenal have snapped up highly-rated Barcelona youth product Georgios Spanoudakis, who previously rejected a number of offers to sign with Arsene Wenger's side.

The 15-year-old central midfielder joined the Catalan club's La Masia academy from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2009, but will now join Arsenal's Under-18 set-up for the coming season.

Spanoudakis has made several appearances for Germany's youth teams, but could still choose to play for Greece should he wish to transfer his nationality.
