Meet Zayn Ali Salman, the five-year-old football prodigy whose talent was spotted by Arsenal

Five-year-old football prodigy Zayn Ali Salman speaks to ITV News Correspondent Paul Davies about his success

Five-year-old Zayn Ali Salman is just five years old.

But he's already the youngest ever recruit at Arsenal's development programme after his football talent was spotted when he was still at nursery - then aged just four.

Drag backs and Ronaldo chops are his trademark moves.

When asked how he is already such a good player, Zayn replies: "I practice a lot."

He also told ITV News Correspondent Paul Davies: "I do magic skills."

Stephen Deans, the scout who first spotted him, told ITV News he couldn't believe someone so young could have such skills.

He said: "He's just five now, there's nobody that I've seen near (his ability), so he trains with the older boys as standard.

"He's just head and shoulders above anyone I've seen at that age."

Arsenal told ITV News because of his age, Zayn is not a part of the official Arsenal Academy, but he is "enjoying football sessions" at their West London Development Centre for their youngest age group, Under-6 to Under-8.
