Arsenal have a potential star on their hands in talented young goalkeeper Jack Porter, who could make a surprising impact on the first-team.

Porter became the youngest-ever goalkeeper in a Champions League squad as he was on the bench as Arsenal drew 0-0 away at Atalanta, at the age of just 16 years and two months.

The goalkeeper has already trained alongside David Raya with the first-team, and after several departures in the summer, he may now be regarded as the fourth-choice option in the squad.

Arsenal let go of a number of goalkeepers including Aaron Ramsdale and Karl Hein, and Porter is now behind Neto and Tommy Setford in the pecking order.

So with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Jack Porter, who may feature for Arsenal sooner than expected.

Porter is highly rated within Hale End, and has been described as “one of the best” prospects in the position in some time.

Arsenal are big fans of his confident nature, as well as his ability on the ball, which is now seen as a hugely important factor when it comes to goalkeepers at any level within the club.

Having already been named on the bench in the Champions League, Porter may find himself in more matchday squads in the Carabao Cup and beyond, and his first-team breakthrough may not be so far away given the lack of experienced backups beyond Neto.
