AI summary
Arsenal have completed the signing of Mylo Bernard, a teenage forward who left Crystal Palace after declining a new contract at Selhurst Park. The 16-year-old will begin his first-year scholarship with the Gunners this season and has committed to a professional deal upon turning 17.
Bernard's prolific record in Palace's youth ranks caught Arsenal's attention, and his positional flexibility—capable of operating as a centre-forward, winger or attacking midfielder—adds to his appeal. He joins a cohort of young arrivals at Hale End as Arteta continues to invest in academy talent.
