Ismail Oulad M’Hand signs professional contract

Ismail Oulad M’Hand signs his professional contract beside Per Mertesacker

Ismail Oulad M’Hand has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The Moroccan youth international joined the club in January 2021 from Feyenoord, just 6 months after his Brother Salah-Eddine signed for us.

The 18-year-old midfielder made 20 appearances for our U-18s last season, with his hard work and performances earning him a call-up and debut for Morocco’s U-20 side in May 2023.

“I'm very happy and excited, just proud to sign my first pro contract,” Ismail told Arsenal Media.

“I like our playing style, it's good and it suits me. Hopefully, I can show more of myself.”

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