  Gunners land Dutch gem

  Arsenal beat Chelsea to Feyenoord youngster

  

  Arsenal have completed the signing of Dutch starlet Kyle Ebecilio, according to Feyenoord.

  The 16-year-old is a graduate of the Rotterdam club's youth system but he has opted to move to England.

  Chelsea were also keen on the Dutch youth international, but the midfielder has elected to join Arsenal instead.

  Feyenoord technical director Leo Beenhakker said: "We did what we could do by offering the kid a contract on time. But he wanted to wait, again this is his right. That he now goes to Arsenal, means that we only get a training allowance.

  "This is the story of (Chelsea defender Jeffrey) Bruma, he was also a great talent that unfortunately never played for us. I treasure Ebecilio highly."
