Mikel Arteta has praised 'remarkable' Ayden Heaven while the Arsenal Wonderkid is preparing for a move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils close a January deal for the 18-year-old, with only the formalities to go until he officially moves to Old Trafford. Heaven seems to be the third defender who puts pen on paper about a move to United this month.
Paraguayan -young Diego Leon will join the club, while a deal has also been poured out with Lecce for the signature of Patrick Dorgu. Heaven will follow the duo and will arrive with a glowing reference by Arsenal Boss Arteta.
Speaking after he ironically played against United in the preseason, the Spaniard said: “I don't know how many players can do that on a stage [at his age]. He has lost a duel [ Rasmus Hojlund ]One of the strongest and fastest players in the world, it can happen.
“But the reaction after that, the calmness, the quality, the body language he had were all remarkable. I am really happy with him.”
After an opportunity for the season, the Heaven went to Instagram: “Protest moment for me and my family last night, starting and my debut for the first team during the pre -season last night! There will be many more! “
The development of heaven went through the entire season and he even got his senior debut against Preston in the Carabao Cup. He shared his thoughts after his professional bow and said: “I waited a long time.
“Today the day finally came, I'm just happy. I thank my teammates, my family and everyone who has me here, so yes, I am just very happy. I feel that Mikel has faith in me. I feel that that is a major role and yes, I just have the feeling that there is trust when it comes to making your competitive debut. “
Heaven would be reunited with another former Arsenal star if he would complete a move to Old Trafford. Chido Obi-Martin also came to United from the North London side in the summer and he enjoyed an electric start for life with the Red Devils.
The 17-year-old already has nine goals in so many performances this season for the youth of United-a record with a hat trick against Nottingham Forest in October. But even before he signed for United, he was full of praise for his former boss Arteta.
“He (Arteta) just praises me all the time and says fun things, so it's a lot of fun,” he said. “Of course it makes me proud. I would like to stay in Arsenal for a long time.”
