Arsenal fullback prospect George Brislen-Hall: Tottenham wanted to sign me - as striker!

Arsenal fullback prospect George Brislen-Hall admits he could be playing for Tottenham.

The youngster is making good progress through the Gunners youth system.

"I was playing for my Sunday League team and, as a one-off, they played me up front and I ended up scoring six goals," Brislen-Hall told Arsenal.com.

"There was a Tottenham scout there so I went to Tottenham, passed a fitness test, and went back to train with them. They had a friendly arranged against a team from Thailand, I ended up playing in that game and managed to score one and set up another.

"So they were positive about offering me something. At this point, nothing was happening with Arsenal, which was my first choice. But I went back to Arsenal, played in a trial game and that's when they offered me a deal. When you have got a chance at Arsenal, you have got to take it."
