Done Deal!! Arsenal complete signing of young defender

North London outfit Arsenal have been able to seal a new deal with their young defender Daniel Ballard on Friday to have him remain at the club for more years.

There has not been any first team call for Daniel Ballard ever since he has been with Arsenal but that could now happen in future as he is set to remain at the Emirates Stadium with the youth team.

He has shown a glimpse of becoming a great player in the future with his current ability.

Having been with the North London outfit for 11 years, Daniel Ballard has been a regular in the u23s as he was handed 21 appearances in the PL2 and the EFL Trophy this season.

Daniel Ballard has been tipped to have a great Arsenal career with his knack for goalline clearances and bailing his goalkeepers out on a number of occasions.

However, the quality of the Northern Ireland u21 international is known, having helped his country with three clean sheets in four games this season at u21 level, as well as receiving a senior call-up.

Howbeit, he has been tipped to step into the shoes of other star players at the Emirates Stadium with his chance set to come in the nearest future.
