Arsenal Under-18s boss Jack Wilshere has compared teenage starlet Amario Cozier-Duberry to fellow Hale End talent Bukayo Saka.
Saka has established himself as one of the very best players in the Premier League over the last couple of seasons, netting 12 goals and providing a further ten assists in the league this term - numbers that have helped Mikel Arteta's side build up an eight-point gap at the top of the table. Now, Wilshere has likened 17-year-old Cozier-Duberry to the England international, who is still just 21.
When speaking about the talented teenager, Wilshere told football.london: "Amario is very exciting and Mikel (Arteta) likes him.
