Kein Deal abgeschlossen: Der ehemalige Arsenal-Jugendspieler Bradley Ibrahim hat eine ……. erhalten. Mehr dazu in Kürze.

Bradley Ibrahim, a promising talent from the Arsenal academy, is embarking on a new chapter in Germany, having signed a permanent contract with Bundesliga 2 club Hertha Berlin.

At just 19 years old, Ibrahim has been with Arsenal’s academy since 2017 and has impressed with his versatility and leadership, notably captaining the Under-18s to the FA Youth Cup final last season. Although he did not break into

 the first team, he made two substitute appearances in the Europa League group stage, catching the eye of manager Mikel Arteta. However, in search of more playing time and a quicker route to senior football, Ibrahim has chosen to pursue opportunities in Germany.

While Arsenal loses a talented prospect, the transfer includes “matching rights,” which means they can bring Ibrahim back if another club makes a suitable offer. Additionally, a substantial sell-on clause ensures Arsenal benefits financially if Ibrahim excels at Hertha Berlin.

This move benefits all parties involved. Ibrahim gains the first-team experience he seeks, Hertha Berlin acquires a promising young player, and Arsenal maintains an interest in their former academy star. Though it is a bittersweet departure, Ibrahim’s transition to Hertha Berlin opens a new chapter for him and keeps the door open for a possible return to the Emirates in the future.

“I was really pleased with the interest from Hertha BSC. The club has a strong history and offers young players the chance to establish themselves as professionals. I’m eager to seize this opportunity and continue my development,” said Ibrahim following the transfer.
