Arsenal told they have their own Luis Suarez after Hale End star scores stunning free-kick

Arsenal have produced a number of quality youngsters in recent years.

The Gunners' esteemed Hale End academy has birthed the likes of Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka, both of which have become some of the first names on Mikel Arteta's teamsheet, with the latter even winning the club's player of the year award for his stellar performances last season.

Now, there are plenty of highly-rated teenagers coming through the ranks at the north London club, with the likes of Charlie Patino and Omari Hutchinson both mooted as future stars for the first team.

Another under-23 talent, Salah-Eddine Oulad M'hand, has been starring for Kevin Betsy's side in recent weeks and the Dutchman netted a goal and provided an assist as Arsenal Under-23s defeated Newport County 4-3.

Salah-Eddine's goal was a stunning long-range free-kick in the second half as the 19-year-old fired the ball over the wall and past the helpless Newport goalkeeper.

A number of Arsenal fans took to social media to praise the former Feyenoord starlet, with one fan even comparing him to Luis Suarez and Samir Nasri.

Here is how a select few supporters reacted to the goal on Twitter.

@AMA4N_: "Salah-Eddine gonna (sic) go straight to the top."

@AzeezThings: "Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand is the next big thing to come out of Arsenal Academy, bookmark this tweet."

@naphtrax: "Salah-Eddine been on fire since coming back from injury."

@farouksahad: "Salah-Edine is the truth."

@ZIAD2407: "the future 10."

@cliffmatrianga: "This kid is a clone between Nasri & Suarez...destined for greatness."

@_IKENNA_: "Scored from a direct corner kick a few weeks ago too. Set piece specialist!"

@retribution316: "As good as Emile Smith Rowe has been for Arsenal, Salah-Eddine looks like the better number 10."
