Arsenal take on Brentford in the third-round of the Carabao Cup, with Mikel Arteta affording opportunities to players not regularly involved in the Premier League so far
Charles Sagoe Jr is the latest Hale End graduate to be handed his Arsenal debut after being selected for the Carabao Cup clash with Brentford.
And Sagoe Jr will be hoping to be more Fabregas than Rohan Ricketts, whose only appearance for the club came in the competition. Described as "a composed and intelligent forward", he has been included in Arteta's squads before, but failed to get off the bench in last season's European clash with Sporting.
He's also regularly been training with his senior colleagues and admitted he learned a few harsh lessons coming up against some of the Gunners' star defenders. "When I’m coming up against the likes of Ben White and Gabriel one v one it’s a much more challenging battle than what I’m used to," he admitted to the club's official website.
