The fallout from Arsenal’s 0-0 draw at Leeds United on Sunday continues, but their attention is now turning to the Europa League.
Mikel Arteta’s side battled to a goalless draw having played with 10 men for most of the second half, and must now look to beat Molde on Thursday night.
Arsenal made the trip to Norway today, flying out ahead of the game to prepare and get themselves ready for an important European game.
Arteta has intriguingly taken some young prospects to Norway with him, with Miguel Azeez notably spotted boarding the plane.
The Mirror carry photos of Emile Smith Rowe and Folarin Balogun also at the airport, whilst they claim Ben Cottrell has also travelled.
Fans have been begging for Smith Rowe to be given a chance his season, believing that the 20-year-old has the creativity that the Gunners lack.
He’s notched three goals in three Premier League 2 games this season, but has yet to play a minute of senior action, with Arteta potentially considering him for Saturday.
Balogun is back in contention as Arsenal attempt to get him tied down to a new contract, with the prolific teenager now seeking a first-team chance under Arteta.
Central midfielder Cottrell, 19, has also impressed in Premier League 2 this season with two goals and one assist in nine games this term.
Smith Rowe, Balogun and Cottrell all look like major talents for the future, and Thursday could prove to be a major step forward in their development.
