Victor Ozhianvuna (Shamrock Rovers)
August 2025

Arsenal agreed a record-breaking deal for Shamrock Rovers teenager Victor Ozhianvuna. The 16-year-old midfielder will join in January 2027 when he turns 18, eclipsing the Irish transfer record previously set by Tottenham’s Mason Melia. Ozhianvuna has already featured in Ireland’s top flight and completed a medical with Arsenal. Several European clubs chased him, but Arsenal moved swiftly with a record fee, underlining long-term planning for Hale End’s next generation.
