Elian Quesada-Thorn signs his Arsenal contract with Per Mertesacker

Elian Quesada-Thorn has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The Costa Rican youth international has been a key member of our academy and featured for both the U18s and U21s last season.

The 18-year-old defender has been with us at the club since 2015.

Upon signing his contract, Elian said: “I’ve been dreaming of this from when I was a young kid at Hale End, so it’s a great moment for me.

“I love this club, I’m a boyhood fan, as soon as they offered, I feel like there was no question.”

Everyone at the club would like to congratulate Elian on signing his first professional contract and we look forward to seeing his continued development.
