Marcelo Flores training with Arsenal senior squad

Marcelo Flores has been training with Arsenal's first team squad this week.

The 17-year-old has made quite the splash for the club's Under-18s since joining them from Ipswich in March 2019.

Flores has made a total of 21 appearances for the junior side, scoring four goals and providing three assists.

The teenager's displays saw him rewarded with a starting berth in the Under-23s' clash with Crawley Town last October.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has seemingly been impressed by what he's seen of the youngster, inviting him to get a week's worth of training in with the club's star players.

Flores penned a professional contract with Arsenal last October.
