Wenger - Freeman is a real prospect
Arsène Wenger has described new signing Luke Freeman as "a very interesting prospect".
The 15-year-old striker joined the Club from Gillingham recently and made his debut for the Under-18s in their 3-2 defeat to Ipswich on Saturday.
Freeman hit the headlines in November when he became the Kent club's youngest-ever player, aged 15 years 233 days, during an FA Cup tie against Barnet. He went on to make two more appearances for the Gills before Wenger decided to swoop.
Speaking to Arsenal TV Online on Tuesday night, the Frenchman seemed content with what he says will be his only acquisition during the transfer window.
"He is a young striker who comes from Gillingham," said the manager. "He is left-footed with a good eye for the goal. He is brave and has a good, positive personality.
"He is only 15-years-old of course so we need to be patient but he's a very interesting prospect. He is another one for the future." |
