Nikolaj Möller has been spotted training with Arsenal once again, having previously trained with the first-team before the 0-0 draw at Leeds.

As we’ve previously covered, the 18-year-old was drafted into first-team training by Mikel Arteta, where he posted a tweet on November 12th showing himself holding off Shkodran Mustafi and Joe Willock.

We’re unsure if the teenage centre-forward has continued to train with the first-team since then until now, but he was once again spotted on first-team duty yesterday.

Möller is very highly-rated, and has been given a nickname that suggests he’s heading for big things.

As Football London stated, the Swedish striker was nicknamed ‘Ibra’ during his time with Serie A side Bologna, in comparison to AC Milan marksman and Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Football London also discuss how the Swedish pair share ‘considerable’ technical skills, despite their large statures.

Arsenal paid £450,000 for the prodigy over the summer.

In just five Premier League 2 games since his arrival, Möller is showing what he can do with three goals and one assist to his name.

With him, Emile Smith Rowe, Balogun, Bukayo Saka and Miguel Azeez on the books, Arsenal’s future looks very bright.
