Arsenal’s young Gunners hammered West Ham United 8-1 this weekend, much to the delight of their manager, Jack Wilshere.
Wilshere is the man tasked with leading Arsenal’s under-18s and he is enjoying what he’s seeing from a talent filled squad at London Colney.
The Gunners have prided themselves on developing young players over the years.
As we know, the likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe are key members of the current Arsenal squad, while we’ve also seen Ethan Nwaneri emerge as a potential future star.
Of course, former Gunners midfielder Wilshere is the one with his eyes and ears to the ground when it comes to the emerging talent.
And after seeing his young Arsenal side hammer West Ham today, which included a remarkable 5-goal haul from from 16-year-old Chido Martin-Obi, Wilshere lauded his team.
In particular, he had kind words for the performance of Martin-Obi once again.

Teenage sensation Martin-Obi is making quite the name for himself at Arsenal already.
And after smashing in another five today, Jack Wilshere lauded him, not only for the goals, but the improvement the youngster is showing in his whole game.
“He was unbelievable again, and I’m proud of the whole club with him, the coaches at Hale End, and everyone. The work that they have put into his development goes unseen. Chido has improved so much; his hold-up play, playing back to goal, and the way he links and presses have improved massively,” Wilshere said.
Arsenal have a number of young players emerging at the moment who the club have high hopes for.
The likes of Reull Walters and Amario Cozier-Duberry have been in and around the first-team this season and there is a lot to be hopeful for at the club.
As for Martin-Obi, well, he seems to be really making a case for being the next big thing to emerge.
If he can carry on hammering in goals as he is and take that into the under-21s, then Mikel Arteta won’t be able to ignore him for too much longer.
