Kristopher da Graca has signed pro terms with Arsenal.

The 17-year-old Sweden youth player agreed pro terms with the club today and is part of the Gunners' under-18 squad.

Arsenal remain in the market for a first team defender this winter and have been linked with a move for Virgil van Dijk, Winston Reid and Mats Hummels.

Arsenal are also understood to be closing in on a deal for Polish youngster Krystian Bielik, who was having a medical at the training ground last week.
