The 19-year-old signed Arsenal from Monaco in 2006 and has 18 first-team appearances to his name. Last term, Armand made a significant step forward by making debuts in the Champions League and Premier League. This season he will be looking to add to that experience with the FA Cup holders.

Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Armand the best of luck with Portsmouth.
