Chris Willock has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The 17-year-old forward has been a regular for the under-18s this season, also playing in six of the under-19s’ seven Uefa Youth League matches. He has represented the under-21s twice so far in 2014/15.

An England youth international, the London-born youngster joined Arsenal at the age of eight.

Everyone at Arsenal would like to congratulate Chris on his first contract, and we look forward to his continued development at the club.
