A one-time Tottenham Hotspur academy player was spotted in senior Arsenal training a little earlier today.

Mikel Arteta put his side through their paces on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s Premier League visit to Brentford.

A whole host of senior Arsenal players were included and so too was a certain Reuell Walters.

The 17-year-old prodigious talent was given a promotion by Arteta in what was an encouraging sign of his progress at Hale End.

Walters joined the Gunners in 2021 after previously spending time with the Tottenham academy.

Here’s some photos of the youngster:

Elsewhere, there was an encouraging sight of Thomas Partey included, too.

The £45 million midfielder who joined from Atletico Madrid in 2020 has missed the last few games with an injury.

The Ghana international has proven himself a massive part of Arteta’s squad and his return could be vital, particularly with Oleksandr Zinchenko still absent.

The former Atletico Madrid powerhouse was vital early on this season as the North Londoners cruised to five successive Premier League victories and his inclusion against the Bees is definitely needed.
