As the end of the season approaches, the young Gunners sit in mid-table, having had a bit of a turbulent season.

Some of that is down to the first team, with plenty of Arsenal academy stars being called up to feature in the senior squad.

As a result, there have been plenty of youngsters featuring before they were expected, such as 15-year-old Marli Salmon making his under-21s debut.

Injuries have also played a part, though there has been plenty to be proud of from a group of players still developing.

As Arsenal took on Crystal Palace in the Premier League 2, there was a familiar face in the crowd watching on as the teams played towards a draw.

Manager Mehmet Ali was delighted to see him make his way down to the game, telling the official Arsenal website: “Every game we’ve got, let’s perform as best as we can!

“These guys show that every day in training, keep competing, and see really the older boys go and enjoy their journeys.

“We had Taylor Foran who used to be an Arsenal player watching us tonight who used to be an Arsenal player which was great, we had Zane Monlouis in the changing rooms there, he’s just flown back from Toronto and going back out in two days to go on his new adventure so I wish that for all our senior boys to go and play men’s football.
