His huge physical presence up top means he’s been a dominating character in Arsenal’s youth ranks, but Wenger is wrapping him up in cotton wool to ensure he doesn’t get carried away.

Mavididi is yet to appear for the first team, but at 18 years old he’s already a regular in the U23 side, meaning he’s playing well above his level already.

A move away could make or break him, but his determination and work rate, combined with his humble attitude, means he’ll be an exciting additon to any lower league side.
