Arsenal have clinched the signing of St Mirren youngster Evan Mooney.

Mooney, 18, has made 23 appearances in all competitions for St Mirren since making his senior debut at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign.

He will initially be registered with Arsenal’s U21 team.

A product of St Mirren’s academy, capable of playing in attacking midfield or as a centre-forward, Mooney’s league debut came in October 2024 in a defeat to Hearts.

A Scotland youth international, Mooney has made six appearances at under-19 level for his country.
