Mikel Arteta promotes Arsenal academy trio in pre-season with teenage stars set to join the senior team on first leg of tour in Germany

Mikel Arteta has handed pre-season tour tickets to three Arsenal youngsters as the Gunners begin to ramp up preparations ahead of the new season.

Arsenal are currently out in Germany getting ready for their first pre-season match of the summer against Bundesliga 2 side Nurnberg and could hand minutes to a trio of promising academy stars.

Youngsters Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Reuell Walters were picked by Arteta to join the first-team for the trip to Germany and have been training with the senior squad ahead of Thursday's warm-up clash.

Nwaneri will be a familiar name to Arsenal supporters after becoming the youngest ever player in Premier League history last season when he made his first-team debut against Brentford at the age of 15 years and 181 days.
