As Arsenal prepare to lock horns against Leicester City on Saturday, Kaleel Green was spotted in training ahead of the contest.
Back in November 2021 was possibly the last instance in which the 18-year-old was pictured training alongside the Gunners senior side at London Colney. With Mikel Arteta’s side locked into a Premier League title race, one can imagine that they are extremely selective in terms of which youngsters they call up to participate in these sessions.
However, it is testament to just how talented Kaleel Green is that Arsenal deemed him ready to be involved in training ahead of their upcoming clash against Leicester, which, as every game does could affect their title hopes.
Kaleel Green called up to Arsenal training ahead of Leicester clash
Described as a ‘skillful’ centre-forward by Gunners youth scout Jeorge Bird, the 18-year-old seems to be one of the many strikers produced by Hale End. with Folarin Balogun reportedly rated as a £50 million player and Eddie Nketiah being described as the biggest surprising package in the Premier League this season by Gary Neville.
Now, pictures have emerged on Getty of Kaleel Green rubbing shoulders with the first-team at Arsenal in training ahead of their showdown against Leicester.
The same was the case with Amario Cozier-Duberry, which gives one an insight into the youngsters at the club Mikel Arteta especially rates.
Huge vote of confidence
Considering Kaleel Green joined Arsenal in 2021 from Southampton, the fact that he is already training with the senior team and that too ahead of such a crucial fixture against Leicester is a sign of how highly regarded he is within the camp.
Much like in the cases of Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith-Rowe and Eddie Nketiah, all the teenager can and must do is put the work in and perhaps one day, he will become an established first-team member.
