Chelsea Legend Dennis Wise's Son Joins Arsenal

Dennis Wise's son Harry will join a number of high-profile names at Arsenal's Hale End academy, after it was revealed he has signed for the north London side. Wise, who arrives at Arsenal from fellow Premier League side QPR, is reportedly a very fine midfielder at such a young age.

He joined QPR as a youngster but had been targeted by a number of other clubs after emerging as a hot talent in the youth ranks. Harry's father Dennis is remembered for an impressive 11-year spell with Chelsea, winning the UEFA Winners Cup, UEFA Super Cup, a League Cup and the FA Cup. Unlike his father, though, Henry is a more creative midfielder who adopts an advanced role in the middle of the pitch.

He joins all three of David Beckham's sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, plus Frank Lampard’s nephew at the Arsenal training centre. Although Wise has only just officially completed his move to Arsenal, he is expected to be a regular member of the club’s youth team for the rest of the season.

Arsenal have focused on building a British core in recent seasons with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey all being signed up to new long-term deals at Emirates Stadium.

Brooklyn Beckham Inks His First Professional Contract With Arsenal

Arsenal have reportedly stolen a march on their rivals and signed 15-year-old Brooklyn Beckham on a short-term deal.

The Daily Star reports that the Gunners have snapped up the son of English icon David Beckham ahead of his father's former club Manchester United and cross-city rivals Chelsea.

An unnamed Arsenal source told the paper: "Brooklyn is talented and he has stood out in all of the training sessions and games he has played. He has had other teams sniffing around and it was always going to be a case of when, not if, he was signed up by a big-name club. Arsenal realize he can be a huge talent. They have seen that potential and protected their asset. The club has signed him, fending off interest from Manchester United and Chelsea in the meantime."

The chances of Beckham playing in Arsenal's first team anytime soon are slim to none, but a quick glance at the fixture list tells TT that the Gunners' next Premier League match is at home to Louis van Gaal's side. Now wouldn't that be a deliciously excellent game to debut the son of Golden balls ?
