Mat Ryan sends message to Arsenal's Miguel Azeez after win over Watford

Arsenal midfielder Miguel Azeez put in a superb display in the Gunners‘ pre-season friendly on Wednesday.

The 18-year-old scored a superb goal to cap off a 4-1 win for Arsenal against Watford at London Colney.

Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for the Gunners before Philip Zinckernagel then equalised for the Hornets.

It was 1-1 at the break but Alexandre Lacazette and Kieran Tierney put Arsenal well on course for victory.

And five minutes from time, Azeez curled home a sumptuous finish to add gloss to the scoreline.

Azeez is one of the most highly rated youngsters at Hale End so there’s plenty of excitement around his career.

And goalkeeper Mat Ryan, who was on loan at Arsenal last season, was one of many who responded to his post-match message on Instagram.

Arsenal have a top talent in Miguel Azeez

Azeez is a dynamic midfielder equally skilled as an anchorman as he is playing at No. 10.

He is also viewed as a natural leader and captain material.

Azeez was playing for Arsenal’s Under-18s when he was 15 and, by the time he was 17, he was captaining the team.

Azeez was in and around the Arsenal first-team last season.

He took part in training sessions and made his senior debut in December’s Europa League win over Dundalk.
