As Arsenal’s Under 16’s make the final preparations ahead of the Nike Cup tournament, a competition they have a fantastic record in, despite falling at the final hurdle last season to Everton, one of the teams key players will no doubt be midfielder Jeffrey Monakana.
Like several of the players in the Academy/Youth system Jeffrey is also a talented musician, creating tracks in the “Grime” genre, but its football where his true talents have come into their own, with Ahmed Abdulla not featuring in recent weeks its allowed Jason Banton to leave the right wing position and support leading marksman Benik Afobe up front and Under 15’s starlet Monakana has pushed into the side offering a different option to the fore-mentioned Banton.
Monakana is blessed with electric speed, and is excellent in possession the only criticism of his game would be he could release the ball a little earlier, however it is something that as he pushes on to the Under 18’s and finally Reserves will surly be coached out of him.
This season will be seen as an important one in Jeffrey’s development as he has added goals to his game, something all quality wingers need, and subsequently making him one of the biggest and most exciting prospects currently in the system, definitely one to watch in future months as we get a bigger picture on whether he can make a break through or not.
