Arsenal head coach, Mikel Arteta, has promoted three Nigerian-eligible youngsters to first-team training ahead of the club’s Champions League quarter-final clash with Sporting CP in Lisbon on Tuesday.

According to Arsenal youth team insider Jeorge Bird, forward Andre Harriman-Annous, defender Josh Ogunnaike, and goalkeeper Khari Ranson were among the academy players invited to train with the senior team at the Sobha Realty Training Centre in London Colney.

Harriman-Annous and Ranson have both been included in a Champions League matchday squad this season, while Ogunnaike is still awaiting his first call-up to the Gunners’ senior team.

Harriman-Annous made his Champions League debut as a substitute during Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Slavia Prague last November, while Ranson remained an unused substitute in both legs of the Round of 16 clash with Bayer Leverkusen last month.

It remains to be seen whether Arteta will include Harriman-Annous, Ranson, and Ogunnaike in the Arsenal squad for tonight’s match against Sporting CP.
