Arsenal’s latest young prospect Ismael Bennacer trained with the Gunners’ first team squad at London Colney ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Everton.

Bennacer, 17, joined the north London giants from French outfit Arles-Avignon in the summer and has already been earmarked as one of the club’s most exciting talents.

According to Arsenal youth expert Jeorge Bird, the Frenchman is a ‘number ten’ with excellent dribbling and passing skills, while he’s also been capped by his country up to U19 level.

Having featured in Ligue 2 for his old club last season and impressing in the UEFA Youth League for Arsenal this campaign, Bennacer’s talent has seen him catch the eye of manager Arsene Wenger.

Reports suggest he could be set for a place in the first-team squad for next week’s Capital One Cup clash away to Sheffield Wednesday.
