As Arsenal prepare to lock horns against Southampton on Friday, Reuell Walters was pictured in first-team training.
This is not the first instance in which the 18-year-old has trained with the Gunners senior side, as he was pictured in and amongst the big boys ahead of the side’s 2-2 draw against West Ham United as well.
The same was the case against Leeds United, as Arsenal starlet Reuell Walters has continued to train with the first-team ahead of their clash against Southampton now.

The teenager is a centre-back by trade, also capable of filling in at right-back. However, there is no understating how talented the Englishman is, with Football Fan Cast dubbing him as the ‘next Sol Campbell.’
Considering Campbell is considered by many as the best centre-back to play for the club during the Premier League era, compliments do not get any bigger.
Now, Arsenal youth team expert Jeorge Bird has said that Reuell Walters has continued to train with the first-team ahead of their upcoming contest against Southampton.
That is a huge vote of confident from Mikel Arteta in the starlet.

The Premier League leaders are not particularly short of cover at centre-back, with William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ben White, Rob Holding and Jakub Kiwior at their disposal.
As a result, it will be a challenge for the youngster to cement his place in the senior side.
This is why Arsenal teen talent Reuell Walters must make an impression when called up to training ahead of games such as against Southampton.
The more frequently he showcases that he belongs at the top level, the higher the chance that Mikel Arteta’s hand will be forced towards giving him a first-team berth.
