VINE: Spinning? Check. Backheel? Check. Nutmeg? Check

He wasn't ready

Darragh Murphy

Some say that the defender is still looking for the ball.

Arsenal’s future is looking bright with England U20 international Chuba Akpom who last night pulled off one of the most mindboggingly sexy pieces of skill you’re ever going to see.

The 19-year-old killed the ball with his chest, before flicking it with his right foot into the path of his left heel which rocketed through the legs of his marker.

The preposterous technique took place in England’s 2-1 defeat to Mexico’s U20s at the Toulon Tournament but we don’t care about scorelines anymore now that we’ve seen this.

We intend to watch it every hour on the hour today and recommend you do the same.
