It is undoubtedly naive to judge a player on pre-season but it is hard not to get excited about such a promising young star. On 16 February 2014, he broke onto the scene, making his first start for Arsenal in a 2–1 FA Cup win against Liverpool. He also was entrusted by Wenger to lead the line against Bayern Munich, providing a constant thorn in the sides of Boateng and Dante.
