Arsenal prospect Marcelo Flores has been named as one of the most talented youngsters in the world, by the Guardian.

In a list of the 60 brightest talents who were born in 2003, Arsenal’s Flores was included – which should add further excitement over his future at the Emirates Stadium.

The attacking midfielder has just signed a new professional contract with the Gunners, after impressing in their youth team.

And the Guardian certainly feel that the ‘Eden Hazard’ like dynamo has an extremely bright future ahead of him.

Flores has already trained with Arsenal’s first-team despite his tender years, and it now seems just a matter of time before he is given his first senior appearance.

Flores already has scored three goals in his first three league appearances for Arsenal’s under-18 side this season, with his performances really catching the eye.

Mikel Arteta has already shown a willingness to play Arsenal’s best prospects, and Flores will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson and Joe Willock in the coming years.
