Arsenal boss Wenger likens Cohen Bramall to Ashley Cole

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has likened Cohen Bramall to Ashley Cole.

Arsenal have completed a £40,000 deal to bring the Hednesford Town left-back into the club, though it is expected to be some time before the 20-year-old is deemed ready to join the Arsenal first-team.

“Cohen Brammall has signed for us" Wenger told Bein Sports.

“He's an exceptional physical talent. I don't think he's ready, today, to play in Premier League but he has similarities to a young Ashley Cole."

Hednesford Town currently play in the eighth tier of English football and the move to the top flight has been described as a “dream come true" by Bramall's agent Dan Chapman.
