Arsenal could come up against two of their former Academy players this weekend when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Promising striker Chido Obi, 17, left Arsenal during the summer transfer window and his move to United was in turn confirmed in October. At the end of the January transfer window, 18-year-old centre-back Ayden Heaven made the same move.
Obi hadn't played a first-team game for Arsenal, with Heaven making his only first-team appearance for the club in a 10-minute cameo in the Carabao Cup third round clash against Preston North End back in October.
In the last few weeks, both have been included in the United first-team squad. Obi has made three substitute appearances - with his performances leading to calls for him to be handed more game-time by Ruben Amorim.
Heaven, meanwhile, made his debut in the FA Cup defeat against Fulham. He has also been named on their subs bench for the last five games in all competitions.
Sunday afternoon's game between Arsenal and United will be the first time the two could come up against the Gunners since leaving the club. Ahead of the game, Mikel Arteta gave his reaction to Obi making his switch and also made a promise to the club's other young players.
"Yeah I wasn't too involved in that decision. When a player decides the best pathway is to leave there's not much you can do. I don't know what the perception is out there, and the reality is very different. I guarantee you if there is a player there that can impact and play with us, they will."
It's a promise that Arsenal's manager has already kept this season. Academy graduates Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly have broken into the first-team under the Spaniard and are now regular starters.
Nwaneri has made 27 first-team appearances in all competitions this season - scoring eight goals. Lewis-Skelly has played 23 times in all competitions, including starting the last seven of the last eight games, only missing the other through suspension.
If young players need an example that Arteta isn't afraid to give them a chance if they are good enough, then the duo are perfect to point to.
