Arsenal fans are excited that Miguel Azeez may well be in their squad for tonight’s game against Slavia Prague.

Arsenal are in Europa League action this evening, and Azeez rather intriguingly posted a picture of himself under the game information on Instagram.

Many Arsenal supporters have taken this to be a clue that he could well be part of Mikel Arteta’s plans, with the Gunners able to name an extended bench in Europe.

And Arsenal fans are excited that Azeez might well feature tonight.

Azeez has featured just once before in Arsenal’s Europa League run, playing seven minutes against Dundalk in the group stage.

The 18-year-old is tipped to be one of the best prospects currently breaking through for the Gunners, though.

Azeez has seriously impressed at development squad level and it seems only a matter of time before he makes his first-team breakthrough.

Whether he makes it on to the pitch tonight remains to be seen, but even if he was involved with the match day squad, that would represent big progress for the youngster.
