The Arsenal Academy is one of the best in the world.

The Gunners have produced several incredible talents over the years. Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe started it all off in the current era, and since then, the likes of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri and now Max Dowman have come through the ranks.

All of the above names are in the first team in the Premier League right now, and the Arsenal boys are destined to become superstars.

Now, another Hale End star has caught the eye – Andre Harriman-Annous.

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal coaches have been impressed by Andre Harriman-Annous

Many of Harriman-Annous’ dreams have come true in recent months.

The 17-year-old was first called up to Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia along with his good mate Dowman, and he caught the eye there.

Mikel Arteta kept him around the first-team group in training sessions, and in what was a surprise, Harriman-Annous was even given a start in the Carabao Cup against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Just a few days later, the youngster made his Champions League debut as well against Slavia Prague.

Now, the Daily Mail have revealed that even though his two opportunities were ‘driven by circumstance rather than status’, Harriman-Annous has made his mark.

It has been claimed that Arteta and his coaching staff are impressed with his ‘application in training’. His professionalism and potential are what convinced them to give him his debut.

Andre Harriman-Annous could get more opportunities in the Arsenal first team

Arsenal have found themselves in a difficult situation in attack.

Viktor Gyokeres is still a doubt for the game against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, while Kai Havertz has suffered a setback in his rehabilitation and is likely to be out until late December.

Mikel Merino is expected to lead the line in the North London Derby, but with a lot of games coming up, Harriman-Annous could get a few opportunities as well.

The 17-year-old had a decent game on his debut against Brighton, and the fact that he has been training with the first team regularly means he understands the level.

It is unlikely, but we’re sure the Arsenal academy star will love it if he can get on the pitch against Spurs.
