Arsenal Football Club have signed Argentinian forward Angel Di Maria from Rosario Central for an undisclosed sum (thought to be £3.5m-4m). The 19 year old is currently playing with Sergio Aguero for the Argentina Under 20s in the Fifa World Cup in Canada.Gilles Grimaldi has been tracking the player for some time and it is thought that the left winger, nicknamed Angelito, will replace want away left side Jose Antonio Reyes. Inevitably the winger has been compared to Maradona. But then so has every young Argentinian forward for a generation.
Deportivo La Coruna were also interested in the player.

ohh... and he scored a CRACKING goal today in Toronto against Chile...
Di Maria is in London for final talks with the Arsenal. This should be wrapped up soon.
"Arsenal were speaking with me and all is going well, not only on personal terms but also the talks with Rosario Central.
"It would be great, especially if it benefits my family and Rosario Central.
"I would like that all to be resolved as soon as possible, because the Argentinian season begins in two weeks."
