Sunderland boss Keane questions praise for Arsenal's youth development

Sunderland boss Roy Keane has rubbished the accolades falling upon Arsenal for their latest batch of top kids.

The Sunderland gaffer said: "The word on the street is they have a group of kids coming through that will be absolutely outstanding.

"But you go on about the kids coming through but a lot of them have been bought from other clubs, not through the academy at Arsenal. It's the same with Chelsea.

"We have tough battles up here in terms of signing young players and are restricted in terms of our location.

"You can only bring in kids from a certain radius and a lot of our radius is in the water. Any good fish out there?"
