Transfer News: Arsenal to receive £1M as Asemota closes in on Villa move

The 16-year-old prodigy had been nurtured at the club's Hale End academy for several years, but ultimately decided to decline the offer to remain at the club when Villa made a move to sign him.

Both clubs are currently going through the five-step process to finalise compensation which will see Arsenal profit from the young star. 

Asemota is an England U16 international and made three appearances for Arsenal at U18 level last season but elected to leave the club which has left a gap for fellow goalkeepers Khari Ranson and Jack Porter to sign scholarships.
