Arsenal coaches have been really impressed by young Bradley Ibrahim and how much he has progressed over the last few months.
The Gunners boast one of the best academies in Europe. Hale End has produced a number of gems over the years, and Ibrahim, who is still only 19, could be the next big thing to come out of the Arsenal youth setup.
Arsenal coaches impressed by Bradley Ibrahim
Bradley Ibrahim joined Arsenal’s academy from Queens Park Rangers back in the summer of 2019.
The teenager has played at U18, U19 and U21 level for the Gunners over the years, and he has impressed in every age group.
A ‘powerful‘ defensive midfielder by trade, Ibrahim has been making all the right noises at Arsenal, and he has often been spotted in senior training sessions as well.
The youngster has also found himself a spot on Mikel Arteta‘s bench on a few occasions, most recently in the game against Burnley just before the international break.
Football London now reveal that Ibrahim’s performances and development have really impressed Arsenal behind the scenes, and everyone views him as a huge talent.
It’s only a matter of time before Arteta gives him an opportunity in the first team.
Ibrahim has a bright future at Arsenal
If there’s one thing Mikel Arteta has shown since he became Arsenal’s manager, it’s that he is not afraid to give opportunities to young players.
Bukayo Saka is the biggest example of that. Unai Emery may have been the one to hand the youngster his debut, but his progression to becoming one of the best wingers in the Premier League is all down to Arteta.
Ibrahim is in good hands at Arsenal. With Declan Rice, Thomas Partey, Jorginho and Mo Elneny ahead of him, it’s unlikely he will become a starter, but we won’t be surprised at all if he gets a few minutes in the FA Cup in January.
The teenager has a massive future ahead of him, and if he continues to progress as he has done in recent years, there’s every chance he will become a star.
