Arsenal held another pre-season training session today, with ten youngsters in attendance.
Matt Macey, Hugo Keto, Chiori Johnson, Krystian Bielik, Ben Sheaf, Marcus McGuane, Reiss Nelson, Donyell Malen, Stephy Mavididi and Chris Willock all trained with the senior squad.
Some of the above youngsters are expected to be involved when the first-team take on Lens on July 22.
Surprisingly Gedion Zelalem didn’t train with the first-team today, while Julio Pleguezuelo, Ismael Bennacer and Glen Kamara continued to be overlooked.
So those 4 you mentioned, are they training at all? Like Hayden and Wellington?
I know Toral is already in Spain, Arsenal want him to sign a new deal before he goes and Granada want an option to buy, but Arsenal not so keen unless it’s on their terms, hence the delay.
Apparently Arsenal have in fact turned down the chance to play in the Football League trophy.
Also informed that new Nigerian signing Kelechi Nkawali will go on loan to a Belgian side this season.
Really keen to see how Malen does.
