Throughout the season, we catch up with our young Gunners in the matchday programme to find out more about their route to our academy. This week, Brayden Clarke explains his footballing roots, his journey to Arsenal and more.
I grew up in Oldbury, near Birmingham, until I was about five, and then I moved to a village in the area called Hagley. I got into football when my nan got me a ball at a very young age just to play with, and I started kicking it about. My mum also wanted me to play football with a local team, and I’ve loved it since then.
