Rovers and Arsenal Agree Record Fee for Ozhianvuna
The £2 million transfer from Shamrock Rovers marks the highest fee ever paid for a League of Ireland player, with Ozhianvuna set to join Arsenal at 18.
- On Arsenal.com the club confirmed the record-breaking signing of 16-year-old Victor Ozhianvuna, who will join Arsenal Football Club in January 2027, with photos of him signing alongside Per Mertesacker.
- Because of post-Brexit rules, Premier League clubs cannot sign overseas players under 18, and once 18, Ozhianvuna must meet FA work-permit criteria based on a points system.
- On the field, Ozhianvuna has made 16 senior appearances for Shamrock Rovers this year, became the second-youngest UEFA Conference League player, and earned nine caps for Republic of Ireland youth teams.
- Financially, the deal involves a reported €2 million fee, described by Shamrock Rovers as a 'landmark transfer' with the player staying until January 2027.
- Arsenal view the transfer as the latest youth addition, with the club excited to monitor his development over the 15-month academy pathway and welcome him in the near future.
