Young Arsenal defender Cam'ron Ismail has revealed he is eligible to represent Nigeria as well as Egypt along with home country England.

The talented 16-year-old defender has made his way from the Gunners academy team to the under 18 side.

He joined Arsenal to play for the under 15 team after being scouted from the Elite Development Academy.

Speaking to the Premier League club's website, Ismail said: "I have Arsenal in my blood, having grown up just ten minutes from Emirates Stadium.

"Some of my fondest memories involve attending matches at the stadium, and I really enjoy the atmosphere there.

"My background is quite diverse - my mother is Egyptian, and my father is Nigerian. I started my football journey with Camden Elite, where I played for a few years and had the chance to attend several trials."
