Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has channelled his inner Aaron Ramsdale having mocked Swindon Town fans on Saturday.
The Gunners have seen Hale End graduates like Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah become first-team players.
There are similar hopes for others in the coming years, with the likes of Khayon Edwards, Charlie Patino and Ethan Nwaneri all highly-rated.
Patino has gone out on loan to Blackpool in order to aid his development and goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has followed him in heading on loan.
Arthur Okonkwo has channelled his inner Aaron Ramsdale
Shot-stopper Okonkwo has been in and around first-team preparations under Mikel Arteta.
The 21-year-old is a huge presence at 6ft 6in tall and has represented England at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 levels.
A part of the Arsenal ranks since 2009, Okonkwo will be hoping to push on for first-team action in the years to come.
Arsenal have though sent Okonkwo on loan to Crewe Alexandra this season, believing he needs more first-team exposure.
Okonkwo has now started 18 League Two games will be hoping to return to Arsenal a much better goalkeeper.
Crewe enjoyed a great Saturday afternoon as they beat Swindon Town 1-0 away from home with Okonkwo keeping a clean sheet.
Three points and a clean sheet on the road will have delighted Okonkwo and he showed it at full time.
A video has captured Okonkwo turning to mock Swindon fans, waving them away after securing all three points.
Does that remind you of anybody?
We’re used to seeing Aaron Ramsdale do this kind of thing in Arsenal’s first team with the goalkeeper no stranger to winding up opposition fans.
It looks like Okonkwo has learned a thing or two from the Arsenal stopper and if he can become anything like Ramsdale in terms of quality too, the Gunners will be ecstatic.
