Ansah Brace As Arsenal's Under 16's Edge Charlton

Arsenal’s Under 16’s edged out their Charlton Athletic counterparts on Saturday morning, after finally returning to League action following several weather related postponements.

Steve Gatting’s boys faced a similar sort of challenge to that of Steve Bould’s Under 18’s, as the Addick’s showed their Academy has excellent strength and depth.

Charlton ran the young Gunners close, and found a way past Daniel Bentley twice. However, pint-sized winger Jernade Meade halved the deficit, before free scoring Zak Ansah added to his growing reputation with a composed brace.

Zak is following in his father’s footsteps, as Andy Ansah was a much travelled midfielder, who notably appeared for Southend United, where he scored 33 goals in 157 League games. Andy was recently a judge on Sky One programme ‘Wayne Rooney’s Street Striker’, and a former actor on the football drama ‘Dream Team’.

Ansah junior is tipped to be an even bigger name than his dad.

    Cheers for the info Jay

    do you think arsenal youngsters are over hyped j sanderson? this is in no way a slight about your reports but comes after a discussion I had yesterday about our youth. This includes wilshere aswell as lansbury and such.

    I was just wondering what your opinion is cosidering you probably know more about the youngsters then most.

    How do you think Ansah rates compared to Afobe? At least he doesn’t seem to be scoring nearly as much as Benik did last season. Are they similar in style?

    Afobe is the better prospect, but Zak has some potential.

    It is far to early to say how good the likes of Benik Afobe, Zack Ansah, Chucks Aneke, Luke Freeman etc etc or any other kid in our youth set up will turn out, because untill they are tested in our first team then they are just potential and nothing more than that IMO.
