The player in question is Ayden Heaven, who has been a regular for Arsenal’s Under-21s and made his senior debut earlier this season.
The 18-year-old defender was pictured vying with Gabriel Jesus for the ball, with goalkeeper Neto also spotted in the mix.
Heaven was the only player still in the youth setup spotted in Arsenal’s latest photographs, with Ethan Nwaneri now firmly in the first-team picture.
Heaven is an 18-year-old footballer who plies his trade as a defender and midfielder for Arsenal and also represents England Under-19s at international level.
Born on 22 September 2006, Heaven joined the Hale End setup on 5 November 2019 and has moved up the ranks to reach the fringes of the first-team.
Meanwhile, Arsenal youth team expert Jeorge Bird said Heaven’s ‘overall performances are often of a very high standard.’
He added: ‘Heaven is composed in possession and reads the game very well, while he relishes bringing the ball out from the back when the opportunity arises.’
