Who Is Miguel Azeez? The Arsenal Starlet Who Has Been Included In The Squad For The Clash Against Molde

Miguel Azeez is one of three teenagers who have been selected by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to travel for the Europa League game against Molde tomorrow night.

The 18-year-old is a central midfielder by trade, with his strengths being in the final third of the pitch. He has good technique and is a decent passer of the ball.


Azeez progressed quickly through the academy at Hale End, having played for the Under 18s at the age of 16, while he is now part of the Under 23 setup having turned 18 in September.

The midfielder has been capped by England from Under 16 up to Under 18 level, having scored for the Under 17s in a 4-4 draw against Norway in November last year.

This season, Azeez has featured prominently for Arsenal’s U23s in Premier League 2 while he has also excelled for the Under 21s in the EFL Trophy. He came on for the second half in the 2-1 win over Ipswich’s senior team back in September but it was the second group game versus Crawley last month where he made his mark.

The teenager played the full 90 minutes and bagged the winning goal as they sealed a 2-1 victory at the People’s Pension Stadium. No doubt that caught Arteta’s eye and it will be interesting to see whether he gets his debut for the senior side in Norway.
