Juventus confirm deal for Arsenal forward Stephy Mavididi

Juventus have confirmed that they have signed young Arsenal forward Stephy Mavididi.

The Frenchman turned professional with the Gunners in 2015, but the 20-year-old has spent much of the early stages of his career out on loan.

A total of 27 appearances have been made for Charlton Athletic and Preston North End, although the youngster managed just two goals during three separate periods.

That has resulted in Arsenal accepting an offer from Juventus, and the player has now undergone a medical and agreed personal terms with the Italian champions.

Mavididi will start life in Turin by representing the club's 'B' team.
