Arsenal starlet Marcelo Flores will reportedly be included in Mikel Arteta’s squad to face Crystal Palace.
The 18-year-old academy ace’s first Premier League call-up was announced by his father Ruben, a former professional footballer in Canada and Mexico, who tweeted the news to his 11,100 followers. The evident pride, emotion, and excitement his father expressed in the brief message was close to being tangible.
“So proud and excited with the first call up of Marcelo Flores with the first team [of] Arsenal," Flores senior said about his young starlet. “Good luck son, you’ve been preparing all your life for moments like this”.
