Luton Town youngster Christian Chigozie managed a stunning ascent this week.

The 16-year-old was in Luton Town's squad to take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday.

While Chigozie did not get onto the field, he was given permission to miss school to be a part of the squad, per the BBC.

“Congratulations to 16-year-old centre-half and Luton schoolboy Christian Chigozie, who is the youngest Hatter to be on our bench in the [Premier League]," a message from Luton read on X, formerly Twitter.

Luton went on to lose the game to Arsenal by a 2-0 margin, with the Gunners going top of the Premier League.
