18-year-old Arsenal winger Xavier Amaechi has completed a move to Hamburg after signing a four-year contract with the German club.

Hamburg will pay £2.25 million for the England youth international, who was one of the highest-rated young ballers at the club. The deal will also see Hamburg pay several million in add-ons, with Arsenal having a sell-on clause but no buy-back option.

HSV offered him the chance of becoming a first-team regular and handed him the number 17 shirt. Amaechi turned down an offer to extend his Arsenal deal, which had a year remaining, and also rejected approached from the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Nice.

Amaechi reportedly joined the club to get regular first-team minutes and ready to light it up at a club chasing promotion back to the Bundesliga next season. Taking to Twitter, he wrote, "Ready to take the next step in my career to achieve my goals, and I am very grateful for this opportunity. Looking forward to the upcoming season!"
