Marcelo Flores scored the winning goal for Arsenal over Chelsea in the U18 category of the Premier League, and relives the dispute between Mexico, Canada and England for his services as a national team. The Wonder Boy, as the British newspaper "The Sun" calls him, scored the winning goal against Chelsea, with a shot from outside the area that left good feelings among Arsenal fans, who hope to see him in the future, with the first team.

Marcelo Flores is in the middle of the dispute between Mexico, Canada and England, who have taken an interest in the midfielder and are making their efforts to bring him to their national representatives. In Mexico, sources informed ESPN, they have not been able to count on Marcelo Flores, because Arsenal, in previous calls, reported that the midfielder was recovering from an injury, but they are sure that they will have him in the next calls of the Mexican National Team Sub 20.

Arsenal competed with Chelsea and Liverpool, to sign the midfielder who came from Ipswich in 2019. His performances with the Gunners, with whom he has scored four goals this season, have attracted the attention of the England National Team and other clubs, which they have thought about borrowing it in the coming seasons.

In Canada they are also trying to convince the Arsenal footballer, Marcelo Flores received a call for the major selection of the ‘Maple Leaf’ at the beginning of the year, but the pandemic prevented him from presenting himself at the camp that was to be held in the United States.

Flores can represent Mexico because of his father, Canada because it is his country of birth, and England because of his mother. The Arsenal midfielder shines in Europe and is considered the Wonder boy.
