The 20-year-old defender — who had previously failed to convince Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday to take him on after trials with them — signed for a reported fee of GBP 40,000 (46,000 Euros, USD 48,500) from non league side Hednesford Town. “Incredible, incredible. It’s a dream come true. I can’t believe that I’m here already,” he told the Arsenal website. “I played a game at Birmingham City on a Monday. Then on the Tuesday, I was made redundant from Bentley Motors and on the Wednesday, Arsenal came in. “I was gobsmacked and took the chance with both hands. I drove down on the Wednesday and trained with the first team on Thursday and Friday. Then they offered me a deal.” Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said last week that Bramall reminded him of Gunners defending great Ashley Cole. Bramall — who may end up crossing swords with another former Hednesford product in Wales captain and central defender Ashley Williams who is at Everton — will first get a taste of Under-23 action and faces competition to make the senior first team from Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs.
