Arsenal could unleash youngster Salah Eddine Oulad M’Hand against Leeds United tonight having called him into their first team.
That’s according to Football.London, who claim that the teenager – mostly known as Salah Eddine – is in Mikel Arteta’s squad tonight.
Arsenal host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium tonight, with a place in the last eight of the Carabao Cup up for grabs.
Arteta will be desperate to get through – after all, this may be Arsenal’s best chance of winning silverware this season.
There is though real scope for Arteta to mix up his side and bringing some young or fringe players.
Salah Eddine fits that bill, though he would surely be coming off the bench rather than starting against Leeds.
Who is Arsenal talent Salah Eddine?
Salah Eddine, 18, came through the Feyenoord ranks before leaving back in 2020.
Arsenal swooped in to sign Salah Eddine, seemingly hoping that he could be another Robin van Persie in terms of thriving at Arsenal after leaving Feyenoord.
Primarily a central midfielder, Salah Eddine has hit three goals and one assist in seven Premier League 2 games this season.
The teenager also has one goal and one assist in two EFL Trophy outings.
It’s maybe a surprise to see Salah Eddine get the senior call-up before Charlie Patino, but we could see a debut for the youngster tonight, which is still hugely exciting.
