Arsenal on Tuesday announced that Elijah Upson has signed a professional contract with the Gunners after deciding to leave Tottenham.
The 18-year-old centre-back is the son of former Arsenal defender Matthew Upson.
Speaking after signing his contract with Arsenal, Upson said via the club’s website, “It’s a great feeling, really proud to be here.
“My dad signed here around the same time as me; it’s great to have someone with a good experience of the place.”
Upson turned down a pro deal with Tottenham before deciding to join the Premier League champions.
