Arsenal youngsters wary of Ipswich superkid Wickham in FA Youth Cup tie

Arsenal youngster Emmanuel Frimpong admits they must be wary of Ipswich Town superkid Connor Wickham ahead of their FA Youth Cup tie.

Wickham is regarded among the best young players in England and is already a regular in Roy Keane's first team.

Frimpong told arsenal.com: "We have to expect them to play good football. They have quite a good team and a target man up front in Connor Wickham.

"The defenders will have to cope with the long balls because they are going to hit the ball towards Wickham, who is quite big, and as long as we can handle those balls in the air I think we will be all right."
