Arsenal youngster Alex Kirk has been spotted in training at London Colney, ahead of the club’s Europa League tie with Slavia Prague tomorrow evening.
Kirk has impressed in Arsenal’s development side this season, since signing a professional contract earlier this year.
The 18-year-old is now being tipped as a potential first-team player of the future at the Emirates Stadium.
And it seems that Mikel Arteta wanted to take a closer look at Kirk today, after footage seen on Hayters TV.
The teenager was called into Arsenal’s first-team squad, where he trained alongside a crop of exciting Gunners talents.
Miguel Azeez, Joel Lopez and Folarin Balogun were also involved in the session.
Lopez, interestingly, has been lined up for a first-team role recently.
The 19-year-old traveled with Arsenal’s squad to Sheffield United, but didn’t play.
The left-back may have an opportunity to feature before the end of the season though, as Arsenal’s options at left-back look extremely limited with Kieran Tierney out.
