Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock scored a brace against Blackpool at the weekend. The midfielder has played three senior matches so far this season, scoring three goals.
The teenager has also impressed in the EFL Trophy this campaign, having scored three times in the group stages of the competition.
Supporters on Twitter think Willock has the potential to succeed at the highest level:
Has potential to replace Ramsey

The guy will be a super striker someday if continues like this or better than this. I was truly pleased by his goals today.

There is a tendency for fans to jump the gun when a young player puts in a few good performances, but Willock is making an impact every time he is given a chance by Unai Emery.
Of course, he will need to prove he can perform against better teams than Vorskla, Qarabag and Blackpool, but he has done nothing wrong so far.
His next first-team opportunity is likely to be in the next round of the FA Cup. The draw for the fourth round takes place this evening.
