Arsenal have signed Portugal Under-21 midfielder Amaury Bischoff from Werder Bremen for an undisclosed fee.
Bischoff will join up with his new team-mates when they return from a training camp in Austria.

The 21-year-old made just one appearance for the Budesliga side Bremen last season and he can play in the centre or right of midfield.

Bischoff joined Bremen in 2005 after spending his early years in France with Colmar and Strasbourg.
Bischoff played for France's Under-18 team before switching his allegiance to Portugal.
His only appearance for the German team came against Celta Vigo in the Uefa Cup in 2007.
