Arsenal youngster Nelson: Hudson-Odoi inspires me

Arsenal youngster Reiss Nelson feels inspired by Callum Hudson-Odoi's England call-up.

18-year-old Hudson-Odoi joined fellow teenager Jadon Sancho in England's senior squad for their opening European Qualifiers.

And Nelson, whose experiencing some recent troubles at loan club Hoffenheim, has taken inspiration for watching his peers.

"I've played against him in the youth league when he was at Chelsea," Nelson told Sky Sports News. "He's my friend so you want to get there as well.

"It's very inspiring, just wants to make you push even more, train even harder and get to that level."
