Per Mertesacker has welcomed our newest intake of academy players to the club.
Our club captain met members of our new under-8s at a special induction day at London Colney on Saturday.
He offered words of encouragement to our young players and their parents, also taking part in a squad picture.
Everyone at Arsenal would like to wish all the boys the best of luck as they begin their journey with the club.
