How ex-Arsenal youngster Kyle Ebecilio battled serious illness to return to top level

Goal's latest mini-documentary tells the story of the Dutch youngster who battled serious illness to return to the top level

Highs, lows, glory, doubts and setbacks. Kyle Ebecilio has been through it all and he’s still only 24.

The Dutch youngster will likely only be remembered by some Arsenal fans as the youngster who never graduated to the Gunners first team, but in reality it could have been different for a player who played a pivotal part in the Netherlands’ U17 European Championship victory in 2011, being named as the tournament’s Golden Ball winner and playing alongside Lyon star Memphis Depay.
