Arsenal striker Stephy Mavididi completes move to Juventus

Arsenal academy striker Stephy Mavididi has completed a move to Juventus.

The 20-year-old Mavididi never made a first-team appearance for the Gunners and is looking to re-launch his career in Italy, where he is expected to play for Juventus' under 23-team in Serie C.

Arsenal announced the move on their website on Friday but did not disclose details of the deal.

The England youth international spent last season on loan at Charlton Athletic and Preston North End.

Mavididi was highly rated at Arsenal but remained behind 19-year-old Eddie Nketiah in the pecking order in terms of breaking into the first team.

He is the latest English academy player at Arsenal to move abroad, with midfielder Marcus McGuane having joined Barcelona's B-side this summer and Chris Willock opting to move to Benfica last year.
