Arsenal signs an Instagram sensational dubbed “little Messi” to their pre-Academy with the 4-year-old becoming the youngest ever signing.

It is never too late nor too early to spot future talent as Arsenal signed a four-year-old whose incredible skills and balance has seen him dubbed “little Messi”. Videos of Zayn Ali Salman, who is now age five have racked up thousands of views on Instagram after he was scouted while playing with kids twice his age.

The youngster’s coach, Austin Schofield said, “We put him with kids of his age but he was better than all of them. He was quicker and he could score and pass much better than the others”.

“I spoke to his dad to suggest playing up and he said ‘why not?’.

“Salman had no problem mixing it with his bigger opponents and his father believes he will be able to handle the move to a Premier League club well as he is “different” from other children”.

“I remember the day he was born”. Salman’s father said.

“The nurse put him on his front and he lifted his head up to look around. Even she was surprised. He’s always been strong from a young age. He has had incredible balance since he was very small. That’s carried on”.

“Arsenal is not bothered about his age. They just think he has a lot of potential”.

Zayn Ali Salman, has made history in becoming the youngest ever recruit at Arsenal after signing up for Arsenal’s Pre-Academy. He has been pictured with Arsenal’s Academy Manager Per Mertesacker, and Arsenal scout Stephen Deans says that he has taken the move in his stride.

“He was doing things you shouldn’t be doing at that age”. Said Dean.

“When I saw him, I called a friend who confirmed he was four. I couldn’t believe that he is still in nursery. Then I spoke to his parents and brought him to a few sessions. He is on fluke”.
