ARSENAL are set to sign £1.5million African wonderkid Torric Jibril.
The midfielder, 16, will join the Gunners subject to a two-week trial next month from Ghanaian side Hearts of Oak.
Torric said: “I am ready to play under coach Wenger and I will be happy to show the world what I can do.
“I like the style of play of Arsenal because of the silky skills and that is what I can add to the team.
“If I am given the chance I know I can play in the first team - I am not afraid.
"We play before big crowds and even though they call me a small boy I am not afraid of them.”
Torric’s agent Prince Omar Ibrahim added: “We have received the documents from Arsenal inviting Torric for trials from June.
“We have taken the future development of the player into consideration and we all know that there is coach better than Arsene Wenger who can do the work for Torric.
“We must not forget that for a multi-talented young African player he needs an African environment to probably flourish.
"Arsenal offers that more than any other team with several African players at the club.
“But Arsenal must be ready to pay the price demanded by his club and also assure us that he will develop well.
“Torric is the next big thing to hit world football and you need to see his unbelievable qualities.
"At this age to be playing in Ghana’s midfield full of talented players should tell you a lot.”
