“I remember the day he was born. 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 aren’t bothered about his age, they just think he has a lot of potential,” said Zayn’s father.

Moreover, Zayn’s coach Austin Schofield spoke about the kid’s talent and talked about his passing abilities and how he scores goals for fun. Thus, Arsenal took the step of signing him up.
