Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is happy to include Isaac Hayden in his squad for their Capital One Cup tie with Chelsea.
Wenger is pleased with the teenager's progress and believes he has many of the qualities needed to succeed at the highest level.
"I like his strengths in the duels," the manager told Arsenal Player. "I like his capacity of concentration and I believe as well that technically he is very focused to do well.
"He is committed and at half-time [in West Brom game] I told him to behave well because he was on a yellow card and he did that well in the second half.
"He is maybe not a creative player but everything he does is intelligent. I like his intelligence and all these qualities together makes me choose him."
