Arsenal's next big star in the making is hoping to make his debut for the club in the under-21s Premier League at Liverpool tonight (Monday).

German youth international Zelalem has also lived in the US - which was where he was spotted by Arsenal - and he has also has Ethiopian heritage. His former coach Matt Pilkington said in an interview last year:
