Arsenal signs Crystal Palace youth striker Mylo Bernard to scholarship deal
Summary

Arsenal has completed the signing of striker Mylo Bernard from Crystal Palace for the 2026/27 academy season. The 16-year-old forward joins on a scholarship agreement that includes a pre-contract for a future professional deal upon turning 17. Bernard recorded more than 40 goals for Crystal Palace last season, including six goals in the u18 Premier League. An England youth international, he has scored four goals in eight appearances for the England u16 side. Arsenal continues to expand its academy roster, having added several other young prospects this summer. The club is currently pursuing a transfer for Vincent Joseph from Liverpool, though a potential compensation payment disagreement between the two clubs could force the matter to a tribunal.
