Miguel Azeez's hard work has paid off.
The 18-year-old midfielder has been with us since he was just five, and on Thursday night he got his reward with a first-team debut against Dundalk in the Europa League.
Azeez became the 877th player to represent our men's team - shortly after Ben Cottrell became the 876th - and he spoke exclusively to Arsenal.com after the game.
Here's what Miguel said:
on making his debut..
I'm buzzing. I'm happy and overjoyed with the experience. I'm so grateful that I was able to get the experience and all the hard work has paid off today.
