The 16-year-old son of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made his debut for the club's under-17 team. Emilio Arteta played in a 3-1 win over Chelsea's youth side, with the Gunners dominating the match from start to finish.
The teenager started on the right wing and played 45 minutes, as Arsenal took a 2-0 lead into halftime. He was replaced by a teammate in the second half, but not before helping his team extend their lead.
Emilio's involvement with the under-17 team is a significant step up for the young player, who has been training with Arsenal's first team. It is likely that he will continue to develop his skills and gain experience with the youth team.
The win marks a strong start to the season for the under-17 team, with the Gunners now sitting second in the league table.
Arteta's son has been in the Arsenal academy since the age of 12, and his progress has been closely watched by fans and coaches alike. His involvement with the under-17 team is seen as a promising sign for the future of the club.
