Arsenal have a superstar in their youth ranks - Gunners youngster reveals
JEFF REINE-ADELAIDE is destined to be a future Arsenal star, according to fellow Gunners youngster Krystian Bielik.
Jeff Reine-Adelaide has made two appearances for Arsenal this season
Reine-Adelaide joined Arsenal from French side Lens in 2015 and he has swiftly climbed up the youth ranks.
The 18-year-old winger made the step up from the Under-23s to the first-team this season after impressing Arsene Wenger.
And fellow Arsenal youngster Bielik has admitted he expects Reine-Adelaide to have a big future with the Gunners.
"Jeff can play in midfield, on the wing or as a striker," Bielik said.
"It doesn’t matter because he’s a really good player and his quality on the pitch is really, really high.
"He can dribble, he can pass, he can run with the ball and he can be a really good player if he keeps going and works hard.
Jeff Reine-Adelaide has twice been on the bench in the Premier League this season
“He’s a really good friend but the most important thing for me was that, even when he moved from the under-23s to first-team dressing room, he didn’t change.
"He’s remained the same person and that’s the most important thing. He’s a very good player and a very good friend.”
Reine-Adelaide has made two senior appearances this season in the EFL Cup and was named on the bench against Burnley and Middlesbrough in the Premier League.
