Zelalem back in full training

Teenage sensation Gideon Zelalem is going to start full training tomorrow after a lengthy injury lay-off. The teenager, who is only 17, rose to prominence during the Gunners Asian tour. He played well beyond his years and outshined fellow German teenager Gnabry.

Zelalem plays in the no.10 position and is going to benefit a lot from training alongside Mesut Ozil (the Godfather of assists). Zelalem exhibited his outstanding vision during the Asia tour by assisting a few goals and creating chances out of nowhere. Many touted him to be better than Fabregas was at the same age. His only problem and reason why he does not compete for a starting place in the first team has been noted as because of his physical fitness. He is still a frail young man and needs to bulk up before he competes with the big men in the league, otherwise Gideon is the real deal!

Welcome back Gideon and hopefully, we will see him play against Chelsea in the Capital One Cup. If you hadn’t heard of Gideon (you must have been hiding under a rock or something), here’s a video of his escapades in Asia.
