As Arsenal’s youngsters start to find their feet in the senior team, let’s have a look at the youngest to find the back of the net for Arsenal throughout the club’s history.
Eddie Nketiah scored his 15th goal for the Arsenal first team on Tuesday night as Arsenal beat Leeds to make it into the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup where they will play Sunderland.
Nketiah was just 18 years, four months and 24 days when he scored his first Arsenal goal, which came in the same competition, against Norwich, almost exactly four years ago.
Eddie, however, was just a little older than his strike partner on Tuesday night, Gabriel Martinelli, when he netted his first.
The Brazilian was 18 years, three months and six days old when he scored his first Arsenal goal, making them the 12th and 13th youngest Arsenal goalscorers in the club’s history.
