Arsenal defender Isaac Hayden says Francois Coquelin is an inspiration to the club's youngsters.

Hayden told Arsenal.com that seeing his colleague's success has given him belief that he could be the next to make the jump.

The 20-year-old centre-back said: "It just shows you it's possible.

"Francis went to the Championship, played very well, and the manager has given him a chance when he came back."
