Arsenal have released teenage winger Aaron Benn - a day after he scored twice for the U18s.

Jeorge Bird's Arsenal youth website reports Benn, who has battled with injury this season, was informed that he had been released just a day after he scored a brace on his debut for the U18s.

Benn was one of a host of debutants at that level as a young Arsenal U18 side thrashed Reading 6-1.

The youngster scored twice and produced an impressive display but was subsequently told that he would be let go.
