Maldini Kacurri brings the ball out of defence for Arsenal under-21sGetty Images
Grimsby Town have signed Albania defender Maldini Kacurri from Arsenal for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month contract, with an option for a further year.
The 20-year-old centre-back, who made his international debut in September against Gibraltar, spent the first half of the season on loan at Morecambe in the National League.
"Maldini is a physically strong, commanding centre-back who will add real presence and resilience to our defence," Grimsby head coach David Artell told the club's website.
'"Beyond his defensive qualities, he's a young player with huge potential, and we're excited about the energy, attitude, and determination he will bring to the squad both on and off the pitch."
Kacurri, who was born in Lewisham, made one senior appearance for Arsenal - against Bolton in the EFL Cup 16 months ago.
