The 15-year-old, currently of Swedish division four side Hisingbacka FC, will officially join the Gunners next summer after impressing manager Arsene Wenger during his trial with the club in August.

Da Graca, who also had trial spells with Villa, Chelsea and Spurs, confirmed his delight at the move to Arsenal.

"Arsenal are a big and good club," he told Fotbolltransfers.com.

"I've had a chance to become a good soccer player, it feels good. At first though I will have to train with them in my own age."

When asked about signing the contract with the Gunners he said: "It could be next week or the following week.

"Moving to England is confirmed but not this year.

"I will move there the summer of 2014. Me and my dad wanted me to [get my] education first."

Hisingbacka's club chairman Thoman Albinsson revealed he did not want to stand in the way of a great opportunity for Da Graca.

He said: "Yes, we are in full agreement with Arsenal. We had some discussions but now we are in agreement.

"One must think of the player as well and see more than just numbers. We are a pretty small club and do not want to stop him.

"We did get more than their initial offer, so to speak, and for a club in our division it is obviously good money. The agreement also increases on clauses. It is a package."
