Arsenal have made a surprise January deal with the signing of Cohen Bramall from Hednesford.
The 20-year-old left-back arrives at the Emirates in a £40,000 deal from the non-league outfit.
It caps a quite fabulous rise for Bramall, who had been on trial in north London.
Here, exciting new website, football.london take a look at the youngsters stunning journey to the top.
"It sounds crass to say this is a dream come true for Cohen but it clearly is," Bramall's agent, Dan Chapman said.
"We love playing a part in helping a young man, who was working full-time in the Bentley factory until recently, whilst playing for Hednesford as well, become a professional footballer and now have - if he grabs his opportunity – a fabulous career ahead of him."
It was revealed on Tuesday that both Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday had been keeping tabs on Bramall over the last few months, but Chapman confirmed that only Arsenal agreed terms with Hednesford.
"Many clubs watched him and one or two had advanced levels of interest in him. But only Arsenal agreed terms with Hednesford that led to us and the player being granted permission to explore the move.
"We are a way down the line and hope to have matters concluded this week but you never know in football.
"We saw him playing very early in the season at Hednesford – as we do an awful lot of non-league recruitment – and his attributes and potential stood out.
"We took him on as a client and then started marketing him wherever we could – a good example would be his Rabona assist which ended up on Soccer AM!”
Bramall is expected to be allowed time to develop at Colney, with the 20-year-old likely to appear for the U23 side.
"He has been training with the Arsenal first team while this move has been under consideration, so he is definitely going there with the intent on breaking through eventually.
"Obviously he has a huge amount of development and work to do. Any player moving from part-time to professional football takes a while to adapt but in this case, the jump in levels is so high. Realistically, we can expect Cohen to cut his teeth in U23 football but we are confident he will break through at senior level in good time."
