West Ham have signed their ninth player of the summer, with Arsenal youngster George Dobson putting pen to paper at Upton Park, the club reports.
He told the club website: ‘I am over the moon to have signed and have been a West Ham fan since I was five-years-of-age and this is a surreal moment. Putting pen to paper is a dream come true for me.’
‘I had a great ten-years with Arsenal and they helped me as a footballer and as a person. But the time is right to move and I cannot wait to get started.’
‘I give 100 per cent every time I put the shirt on and I will give everything for the team.’ The amount of players who have come through the academy, it was a no-brainer for me. There are lots of opportunities here and you have just got to take them. I know I will have to work hard.’
‘Terry Westley is a great guy and has shown a lot of interest in me. That is really important for a young person and I am looking forward to working under him.’
