Gunners complete surprise deal for United target.
Arsenal look to have beaten Manchester Untied to the signing of Benfica teenager Joao Virginia, according to claims in the Metro.
The 15-year-old shot-stopper is considered a top talent and great prospect for the future, and sources in Portugal suggest he has left the club for a move to the Emirates Stadium on a four-year deal.
Arsenal are known for their superb scouting around the globe and for their fondness in signing top class young players, and this move looks like continuing that tradition.
