In a major move for the League Two side, Doncaster Rovers have reached a full agreement with Premier League giants Arsenal to sign highly-rated young talent Louie Copley for a reported £2 million transfer fee. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder is set to join Doncaster on a five-year deal, marking a significant step in the club’s long-term plans.
Copley, who has impressed in Arsenal’s youth ranks with his creativity, technical ability, and eye for goal, is expected to fly to Doncaster next week to undergo a medical and finalize the necessary paperwork.
The move comes as Doncaster look to build a squad capable of pushing for promotion, and the acquisition of a Premier League academy product underlines their ambition.
A source close to the club stated:
“Louie is one of the brightest prospects in English football. Bringing in a player of his caliber shows how serious Doncaster Rovers are about building for the future.”
The deal also reportedly includes performance-based add-ons and a sell-on clause in favor of Arsenal, who remain keen to track Copley’s development closely.
With fans buzzing over the news, Doncaster Rovers could soon unveil one of the most exciting signings in the club’s recent history.
