Arsenal managed to come from behind to beat Brentford in a London Derby clash between the two sides on New Year’s Day.

It was a day to remember for many as Arsenal went back to second in the league, though one bizarre thing was spotted.

Arsenal confirm Josh Robinson transfer switch

Arsenal have confirmed their first piece of business for the January transfer window, with Hale End academy youngster Josh Robinson leaving the club.

He told Wigan Athletic’s official website: “I am very excited to start my journey here.

“It’s a very big Club, and I am looking forward to seeing what the season holds. I just want to hit the ground running, and hopefully do well for the Football Club.”

The star is set for a new challenge, but he is unlikely to be the last academy player to make a switch this January.
