London club Arsenal has signed a 4 years old boy, Zayn Ali Salman, while he is still in preschool, making him the youngest signing in its talent academy, the BBC reports on Thursday. According to the British public channel, Salman caught the attention of the British entity when they saw him play with children twice his age.

"Obviously, we put him in with players his age, with the four, five and six year olds, and he was already ahead of everyone," explained Austin Schofield, Salman's coach at the First Touch Soccer Academy.

The coach stressed to the aforementioned television network that the child "is much faster than the rest and more willing to go for the ball. How he hits it, how the ball passes, is much better than the rest." "I spoke to his father and he wanted us to put him to play with the older ones. I thought: why not? Let's see how he does," observed Schofield.

Arsenal's talent scout Stephen Deans also praised the youngster's way of playing, who appears to have already received offers from other big clubs although he seems "committed to his favorite club." "This kid is doing things he shouldn't be doing. The way he hits the ball. It's too complex for someone his age. When I saw him, I called a friend and he confirmed that he was 4 years old. I told him that It was impossible, he couldn't be a kindergarten kid. So I went to talk to his parents, I took him to some training sessions and he did it again. He does it all the time", Deans said.
