Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has named three youngsters in his squad for their Champions League tie with PSV Eindhoven.

With first place confirmed for the Gunners, Arteta has included Reuell Walters, Lino Sousa and Ethan Nwaneri in his squad for Tuesday.

“They are three big prospects," Arteta said during his pre-match press conference. “We want to bring a lot of players from a system and they deserve to be here. The circumstances have got them into this position. They're still really, really young but we want to get them the experience because they have the talent hopefully to be very close to us. We'll try to give them the opportunity if we can in the right moment.

“We need to get the machine going because we want more of those (young players) and we have to produce more of those. There's a lot of work going into the academy and that's big credit to all of them every single day for the amount of work that they're putting in. They do a lot, they've planted the seeds and now we need to bring them up.

“There is something about them. When you work in a meeting, or you talk to them, they have that energy, the eyes are open, there is a lot of enthusiasm. There is something fresh, something new and I have been there.

“Everyone really wants to help them, I really want to help to fulfil their dream and hopefully we can achieve that."
