Arsenal fans love to hear about their Hale End graduates doing bits and one is busy tearing up the under-18 Premier League this season.

Marcelo Flores looks to be doing great things in the academy and it would seem as though he’s destined for a big future.

The youngster typically operates as a number 10 and was in the goals once again during a 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend.

His goal caught the eye of the fan base and it was the second successive week in which Flores has scored for Arsenal.

There have only been two under-18 contests this season where the youngster hasn’t registered a goal contribution of some sort.

He now has six goals and two assists from 2021/22 so far and looks like a player determined to climb through the ranks.

Flores was born in Canada but has spent time playing international football for the various age groups with Mexico.

Whether he changes his allegiance once he has to choose a senior team to play for remains to be seen.

For now, his challenge will be to keep scoring goals and become a regular in Kevin Betsy’s under-23 team by the end of the campaign.

What have Arsenal fans said about Flores?

Well, the Gunners fan base are sticklers for seeing their own players do great things at whichever level they play at.

Flores scoring a neatly taken goal at the weekend has gone down well in their eyes and they’re keen to see more of him.

Of course, his strike proved in vain at the weekend but that didn’t stop fans waxing lyrical over his performance.

Here is what the Gunners fan base had to say on Twitter regarding the emergence of Flores.
