Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere says the staff are proud of USA midfielder Yunus Musah ahead tonight's World Cup clash with England.

Wilshere wrote for The Sun: "We had him at Arsenal from the age of nine until he was 16, when he moved to Spain for family reasons and joined Valencia.

"He is a well-travelled lad, having lived in the USA and Italy too — that helped his football education.

"My assistant coach with the Arsenal Under-18s, Adam Birchall, always tells me what a good player he was in our academy — and how they were disappointed to lose him. But that's life.

"We're delighted that our academy has turned out such a talented player and wish him all the best, though perhaps he can take it easy tonight!"
