Chido Obi (extraordinary schoolboy striker) also scored a Hattrick in this match, while Louis Zecevic-John (another schoolboy) scored his 1st goal at this level after getting an assist in the match last week.
Do you think Lewis-Skelly may have to adjust his game a bit to make it?
Skelly is not as smooth or composed as Nwaneri, but he seems to have all the raw talent needed to become a great player. Only thing really missing is height. He has the strength, balance, power, speed, agility, technique, vision and even mentality. Just needs to put it all together. Especially more consistent passing range. It's really 50/50 with him. But in terms of raw talent I'll say him and Nwaneri are def the most gifted I have seen since young Wilshere.
These kind of things are nonsense. To have 13 year old play in the u18 screams pr move and build up hype about the kid.
I get where you are coming from but he's actually really good. As someone mentioned , he looks like a 15/16 year old, and he recently just returned from an u15s tournament in France where the u15s lost to Marseille on penalties but we beat the likes of Lens and St Etienne. He was named player of the tournament so I think it was just a reward. Also, academy football is currently very competitive. A lot of money is being poured to these players to lure them away so this is Arsenal's way of trying to keep the best of them. Though ironically he is also a Left Footed CM/CAM
As good as he is, there is big difference physically between 13 and 18 year olds. He can get hurtI get where you are coming from but he's actually really good.

My 12 year old Daughter is 6 foot!!
Did you name her Brienne by chance
Nope
I get what you are saying but take the case of Ethan, at 16 , he looked physically capable of dealing with men , more than eg. Fabio Vieira. Same case with Lukaku, Rooney at 16. I doubt the kid will play much for u18s as he mostly plays with the u15s, and the academy are in a better position to analyse his physique anyway.
There is huge difference between 13 and 16. We seen 16 year olds play with men. 13 is still a child
Kamarni Ryan finally getting a break. He's looked talented with the little we've seen of him.Good win for 10 men Arsenal against Leicester (Obi sent off for high boot, probably correctly). 2 bit ref then sent off Benjamin for two yellows - one shooting after being given offside and one 'delaying the restart with his celebration' after scoring the winner in the last minute off the bench...bugger me, these officials don't help themselves

It's definitely a very young team this year. Max Dowman is a big deal aswell, played well above his age group for a while at 13.
Crazy. Need to have a good look at him, have seen virtually nothing but heard amazing things.
There's literally no clips you'll find probably until he's older and plays more at u16 and u18 level but he's really good. It's one of the few times I've watched a game and a younger kid stands out in the way he did.. very good technique and close control and glides really well across the pitch.. the game was too easy for him and I can see why he's playing at u16 and u18 level. He played the full 90 minutes today .
