The younger brother of Arsenal’s Salah-Eddine, Ismail, a skilful midfielder, stepped up for Arsenal U18s last season to earn a professional contract. He then featured for the first-team in a friendly against Watford.
Although he was only on the fringes of the FA Youth Cup side, he was heavily involved in the league and scored three times.
Capable of playing deep in midfield or slightly further forward, Oulad M’Hand is an impressive passer and he will now be looking to establish himself in Arsenal’s U21 side.
Although he was born in the Netherlands, the former Feyenoord youngster has represented Morocco at U20 level.
