Arsenal manager Unai Emery called 17-year-old Buyako Saka up for first-team training as he looked to re-energise his players after the 5-1 thumping against Liverpool.

The Gunners youngster is one of a number of stars to have made an impression on Emery since his arrival and he got the opportunity to show his qualities alongside Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Monday.

But much of Emery's focus saw him take a hands on approach in training as he looks to fix the team's leaky defence ahead of the visit of Fulham.
