Arsenal have officially announced that young midfielder Evan Mooney has joined the academy from Scottish Premiership side St Mirren after impressing scouts over the past 12 months or so.
ARSENAL have been in the transfer headlines alot over the past few weeks, there has been so many players linked with a move to the Emirates, and there has even been a few players linked with a move away from the club.
But that does not mean that Arsenal are not looking to add some exciting young players to the side, and after a few months of scouting, his move to the Emirates has officially been confirmed by the Gunners.
Arsenal posted on the club website: ‘The 18-year-old has made 23 appearances in all competitions for St Mirren since making his senior debut at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign.
‘A product of St Mirren’s academy, capable of playing in attacking midfield or as a centre-forward, Evan’s league debut came in October 2024 in a defeat to Hearts.
‘He went on to score his first and only senior goal just a couple of months later, coming off the bench to score an 88th-minute equaliser in his team’s 3-2 win away to St Johnstone.
‘In Evan’s early career, he has already experienced silverware, coming on in the Scottish League Cup final to see his team beat Celtic 3-1 back in December 2025.
‘A Scotland youth international, Evan has made six appearances at under-19 level for his country.
‘Everyone at Arsenal would like to congratulate Evan and welcome him to the club.’

There are quite a few Gunners fans that have been hoping to see some big names make the move to the Emirates, they feel that Manchester City have improved the squad, so should Mikel Arteta for the final few months of this season.
Mooney is not really a player that Arsenal fans would have heard of too much, but he is a player that Arsenal have been watching for the past 12 months and now he is set to develop in that world famous Arsenal academy.
ARSENAL will train his and hopefully mold him into a player that could possibly make his name in the first team, he is a few years away from that, but he has alot of potential.
It is a massive decision to leave Scotland and make the move to Arsenal, but it is one that he will not regret as it will really help his development.
