"A combative and authoritative midfielder, Jordan first played for Arsenal at the age of eight and was a mainstay in midfield for Steve Bould’s Under-18s last season.

The defensive-minded youngster, who uses his strength and aerial ability to great effect, featured at right back in his first year as a scholar before returning to his more natural position."

This is exactly the sort of thing we should have been doing 5 years ago, snapping up the young kids from the big 4 that have been released.

Well done BCFC and hopefully a lot more to come.

Marv's replacement???

Also saw that someone on twitter has said 'surely just a loan move!'

Surely that suggests he is a decent player with potential? Let the assumptions begin...

There's also a comment on Twitter that suggests he turned down a new deal at Arsenal as opposed to being released...

Article on Arseblog from Feb 2012:

Whether training with the likes of Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry before the AC Milan game, or scoring in two consecutive games recently for the under-18s, this has certainly been a memorable campaign for second-year scholar Jordan Wynter.

The Hale End product featured for Steve Bould’s side whilst still a schoolboy, and was used regularly at that level during his first season as a scholar last campaign, with most of his game time coming at right-back.

This season, however, he has been afforded more opportunities in his preferred deep midfield role and has flourished, breaking up play effectively and instigating attacks. Comfortable in possession, Wynter also possesses good technical ability and, having gone well over a year without a goal, has scored in each of the last two games against Fulham and Chelsea.

The 18 year old was selected, along with schoolboy Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill, to train with the first-team recently, having previously done so a year prior ahead of the game against Barcelona. His next aim will be to break into the Reserve side on a more regular basis, having amassed a handful of second-string appearances thus far.

If he continues at his current rate of progression, then Wynter will surely earn a professional contract in the summer and, with that, more Reserve opportunities should follow.

You just don't know, I'm always of the mind that just because you've played for a big four (or is it 6 now) club doesn't mean you are automatically good,

If he has turned down a contract with arsenal to come here then for me that means 2 things

1, the reputation our of acadmey and under 21's is improving and improving fast

2, We have every intention of using him in the first team

Looks like the first team option. He is 20 this year and featured for Arsenal reserves last season so obviously feels now is the time to get some first team games under his belt.

He's been with Arsenal since the age of 8, he's a product of the Wenger set up so guaranteed he'll technically be good and be able to pass a football. Also seems he has battling, defensive attributes so on paper at least looks good.

David Noble was from Arsenal and technically very good - have we had any others?

From the look of the arsenal blog that was quoted and other information -

Two weeks ago the situation was thus:

he is 20 and Arsenal are looking at breaking him into the next step up each time, hopefully playing reserve football next year

then city have offered him a deal where he know he will - at least be a lot closer to the first team. If they've offered him first team football, it's playing more competitive games at possibly a higher standard that has to appeal to him.

Well done City, hopefully it pays off - treating the guy like a proffessional footballer instead of a schoolboy

Yes I agree. This boy isn't here to play in the stiffs or some U20 team he is looking for first team action and that would almost certainly have been the hook....

Lets hope he is as good as he seems!
