Benfica Signs Chris Willock From Arsenal

Arsenal youngster Chris Willock has joined Benfica on a permanent transfer after signing a five-year contract with the Portuguese champions. Willock had shone for Arsenal's youth team in Premier League 2 and made two appearances as a sub in the EFL Cup last season against Nottingham Forest and Reading.

Willock joined the Gunners' academy at the age of five and appeared for the Arsenal first team in a pre-season friendly in 2014 at just 16 years old.

Benfica club's website reads “I hope I can show what I can do on the pitch. I think we have a great team and we can achieve great things in the future.”
