Arsenal U18 coach Steve Bould says fans can be excited about the talent that is threatening to make a first team breakthrough this season.

He told arsenal.com: "I was with players like Mark Randall at the Under-12s. The current Under-19s are the players that were in my first squad and it just fantastic to see them where they are. Someone like Jack Wilshere, too, who is around the first-team and doing really well, and Henri Lansbury and Gavin Hoyte have done a fabulous job to be where they are as well.

"Things are moving forward we hope."
