Lifted by the Nigeria and Uganda prospect’s enthusiasm, the Gunners academy manager highlights what the teenager must do to break into Arteta’s squad
Per Mertesacker is not ruling out Ovie Ejeheri’s potential to break into Arsenal’s first team, and, he reveals what the goalkeeper must do to make that a reality.
The teenager – who has been with the Gunners from age eight - recently signed his first professional contract with the Premier League outfit thanks to the steady growth that saw him promoted to the U18 team in 2019.
His amazing talent saw him invited to England’s training camp for goalkeepers in 2020 and he has been tipped to follow the footsteps of Arthur Okonkwo who is now a member of the club’s senior team having gone through the youth ranks.
