A 6-year long contract ensures he’s tied down for the long term, and we look forward to seeing his development in more detail when he makes the leap to a top 5 European League eventually.
Slonina joins Carney Chukwuemeka and Omari Hutchinson as 18-year-old talents snapped up by the North London club this summer.
