Arsenal have a few youngsters worth getting excited about at the moment, and one that’s standing out in pre-season is young United States U19 international Gedion Zelalem.
Currently with the Arsenal development squad in South Africa for the Durban Under-19 International Tournament, he showed exactly why he is so highly thought of on Wednesday evening with a stormer of a show in a 4-2 victory over Celtic.
Despite not yet making an appearance in the Arsenal first team yet, more showings like this could be enough to make Arsene Wenger believe that he is ready for the step up in the very near future.
He helped get the young Gunners on the map with a sumptuous through ball to young forward Tyrell Robinson to move the ball beyond the advancing goalkeeper.

Almost Ozil-esque!
And he capped off his fine performance in the 90 minutes by adding a very cheeky Panenka penalty.
