Ceadach O'Neill looks to finish his first season at Arsenal strongly
03/23/2025 07:57 AM
Ceadach O'Neill is nearing the end of his first season as an Arsenal player and the winger has certainly packed a lot into the campaign.
O'Neill scored a brace on his debut for the U18s against West Ham and has five goals in 13 league appearances at that level in total.
In addition, he featured in the FA Youth Cup and also made his debut in the UEFA Youth League.
A hard-working player who is an excellent dribbler, O'Neill possesses experience of senior football from his time at Linfield.
O'Neill will turn 17 next month and it is anticipated that he will sign his first professional contract with the club, while he will also be looking to earn his maiden callup to the U21 squad before the end of the campaign.
A key player for Northern Ireland at U17 level, O'Neill is capable of making an impact on either flank.
Next season the youngster will be determined to really push on and challenge for frequent involvement with the U21s.
Before that, however, there is still much work for him to attend to at U18 level this season, with Adam Birchall's side having seven games remaining.
O'Neill has established himself as an important figure in the team, as shown by the fact that eleven of his appearances this season have been starts.
There are high hopes at the club for O'Neill, who can also play as an attacking midfielder or a striker if required.
Having already made an impact during his time at Arsenal, O'Neill will now be looking to develop even further.
