ARSENAL starlet Ceadach O'Neill has described his move from Kilrea to London as "a big change" - but it hasn't stopped him keeping up to date with all things Gaelic football in his native Derry.

The 17-year-old moved from Linfield to the Gunners last year and five months ago signed his first professional contract with the Premier League club.

O'Neill, who hails from ex-Ireland manager Martin O'Neill's hometown, has made a flying start to the new season, with five goals in his first three games. He made his Northern Ireland under-21 debut earlier this month, coming off the bench in a 1-1 draw with Georgia and played for Arsenal against Athletico in the UEFA Youth League this week.
