Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun has backed Ethan Nwaneri to become the next Bukayo Saka at the club.
Nwaneri is the youngest ever senior Arsenal player and youngest ever Premier League player.
He came on during their 3-0 win over Brentford in the league last weekend.
Balogun told Sky Sports: "When I was sorting out my loan towards the end of pre-season, I noticed he was training with us a few times. I spoke to the under-18s manager and he told me that he was a really good player and he said he's got a really bright future.
"So I definitely had an eye out for him and it was just really good to see him make his debut. I just hope that he can just carry on impressing people in the first team."
He added: "Yeah I'm sure they have a plan. There's been a lot of players in the past that have kicked on really.
"The likes of Reiss Nelson, Bukayo, they've played first team really early. I think Bukayo made his debut when he was 17.
"So I'm sure Arsenal have a plan for him and I'm sure if he just keeps his head down and works hard, he will see through that plan."
