Fulham have reached an agreement for a ‘promising’ talent, with medical tests set to take place soon. Karl Hein has been impressive in goal, with Heaven and Jurrien Timber forming a solid defence in front of him. Ben White has been holding down his usual right-back position, while Oleksandr Zinchenko has stepped in at left-back for Myles Lewis-Skelly in the last match.
In a thrilling encounter against Bournemouth, Arsenal clinched victory in a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Keeper Hein came up clutch by saving two penalty kicks to secure the win for the Gunners. However, in their second friendly match against United, Arsenal suffered a 2-1 defeat, with the game once again going to penalties due to a peculiar pre-season rule. The Red Devils emerged victorious in the shoot-out, leaving Arsenal fans disappointed.
Manager Mikel Arteta has been full of praise for the academy graduates, particularly Heaven, who has caught his eye with his performances on the field. The young players have been eager to impress and stake their claim for a spot in the first team, and their dedication and determination have not gone unnoticed.
Overall, Arsenal have shown promise in their pre-season matches, with some standout performances from their young talent. As they continue their preparations for the upcoming season, fans will be hoping for more positive results and exciting football from the Gunners.
